Ingredients
Method
Prepare the crust
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x9 inch baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
Make the filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, fold in the pureed strawberries.
Bake the bars
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly. Bake for 25 minutes or until the center is set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.
Notes
For best results, use fresh strawberries and allow the bars to chill overnight for optimal flavor and texture.
