Print Recipe

These Cinnamon Churro Cheesecake Bars are a perfect fusion of creamy cheesecake and crunchy churro flavors, offering a delightful dessert experience in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the crust:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the cheesecake filling:
  • 16 ounces (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • For the cinnamon sugar topping:
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides to lift out the bars later.
  2. For the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
  3. For the filling: While the crust cools, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together with a handheld mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, and beat on medium speed until fully combined, about 1 minute more. Pour over the crust and smooth the top.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Turn off the oven, leave the door slightly ajar, and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour to avoid cracks. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. For the topping: Once chilled, lift the cheesecake out using the parchment paper overhang. Spread the melted butter evenly over the top. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle generously over the buttered surface. Cut into bars and serve.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For best results, chill overnight before serving.
