Get the Recipe: Gluten Free Cheesecake Bars
Gluten Free Cheesecake Bars are rich, creamy, and smooth with a buttery shortbread crust. Each bite is sweet, soft, and melt in your mouth, giving you classic cheesecake flavor in an easy bar you will love.
Ingredients
Shortbread Crust
- 1 ¼ cups gluten free flour
- 10 tbsp butter, cut into squares
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp gluten free flour
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the crust first. All the crust ingredient to a food processor. Process until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Use your hands to press this dough into an even layer in the lined pan. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes.
- Then, make the filling. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the room temperature cream cheese, sugar, and eggs. Beat until fully mixed.
- Then, add in the gluten free flour, sour cream, and vanilla. Beat until just combined.
- Once the crust has baked, pour this creamy mixture on top. Smooth into an even layer.
- Then, return the pan to the oven for 35 to 38 minutes, or until the middle of the cheesecake is still slightly jiggly.
- Finally, remove the pan from the oven. Allow the cheesecake bars to fully cool before slicing into. I recommend letting them cool down at room temperature for 2 hours then transferring to the fridge overnight. Slice and serve!
Notes
- Press the crust into an even layer. The dough will be crumbly.
- Be sure to use room temperature cream cheese. Do not use cold cream cheese.
- The cheesecake bars are finished baking when the middle is slightly jiggly.
- Allow the bars to fully cool down before slicing into.
- I highly recommend allowing the bars to cool down in the fridge overnight.
