Ingredients:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
16 oz cream cheese, softened (use a dairyfree version for an alternative)
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs (substitute with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce for vegan)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
23 tablespoons milk (use almond or oat milk for dairyfree)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper, letting it hang over the edges for easy removal.
2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar to make the crust. Press this mixture evenly into the base of your prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool.
3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until creamy and smooth. Add in eggs and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
4. In a small bowl, prepare the cinnamon mixture by blending melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
5. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled crust. Drizzle the cinnamon mixture on top and swirl with a knife to create a beautiful pattern.
6. Bake for 3540 minutes or until the center is firm and the edges are golden. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
7. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle generously over the cooled bars.
8. Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice them into squares and get ready to enjoy!
