Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Reserve about 1 and 1/2 cups of the crumb mixture for the topping. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then set it aside to cool slightly while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until fully incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the slightly cooled crust in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the reserved chocolate streusel mixture evenly over the cheesecake filling, and, if desired, sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping is slightly crisp.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into bars.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Cheesecake Filled Chocolate Streusel Bars!
