Description
Delicious cheesecake bars infused with fresh strawberries and bubbly champagne, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup sparkling champagne
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until it resembles wet sand before pressing it firmly into the bottom of a lined 9×9 inch baking dish. Chill in the refrigerator while you make the cheesecake filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add sparkling champagne and mix until well combined. Fold in sliced strawberries gently.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust, smoothing it into an even layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 30 minutes.
- Chill: Allow it to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for 4 hours or until fully set.
- Serve: Cut into bars and garnish with fresh strawberries, powdered sugar, or chocolate sauce.
Notes
Use low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version. Substitute with sparkling grape juice for a non-alcoholic option.
