How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 large egg. Mix until just combined.
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 2 large eggs, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the strawberry crust.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached.
  7. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for optimal serving.
