How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Bars
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix and 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Drizzle 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter over the cake mix and pecan mixture.
- Stir until well blended.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, beat 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened, with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.
- Microwave 1 cup strawberry jam for about 45 seconds, or until slightly thinned. Stir to ensure consistency.
- Spoon the thinned strawberry jam over the cream cheese mixture.
- Use a fork to gently swirl the jam into the cream cheese layer, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Do not overbake!
- Let cool completely in the pan for at least 30 minutes.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the bars to set completely.
