Eggless Strawberry Cheesecake Bars

Eggless Strawberry Cheesecake Bars are delicious bite sized snack bars that can be easy to serve on special occasions.

Strawberry available here is tangy and not that good to eat as it is. But in cheesecakes and cakes, they complement the sweetness overload and turn out really amazing.

Making the base of cheesecake

I use Britannia Marie gold for all my cheesecake bases. It tastes good and not too sweet. The secret for making a crisp base is to crush the biscuits to coarse powder and not a smooth powder. Food processor will help you in this. Mixie makes it too smooth and you end up with a soft crust.

I always use homemade cream cheese in all my cheesecake recipes as it is tough to source it in Madurai. It is also very easy to make at home. Check out my homemade cream cheese recipe. Click on the image below and it will take you to the recipe page.

You can use any type of berry for making these bars. I have tried with blueberries and they turned out amazing. I guess mangoes might work. But I need to try this mango season to share my thoughts.

To make the crumble topping, you need cold butter. Rub it with flour and sugar mix to get that crumbly mix which will bake into the beautiful crumble topping.

I have used two layers of strawberries. One inside the cream cheese layer and the other on top of the crumble. Again, it is not mandatory. You can add all the strawberries in the cream cheese layer and leave the top with just crumble.

The bars are so soft and when you bite into a square, you get all kinds of texture and flavour. Let me know if you liked it in the comments.

You can store it up in an air tight box in fridge for a week. But the squares taste so much better when they are very fresh.

I have posted the video to make these delicious cheesecake bars in my YouTube channel. Take a look if you love learning through videos.
