Make these easy chocolate chip cheesecake bars for a decadent dessert that combines creamy cheesecake with chocolate chips. This recipe yields sliceable bars perfect for parties or satisfying your sweet craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  3. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat in 1 cup of sugar, flour, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips into the batter.
  6. Pour the cheesecake batter evenly over the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the top.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has only a slight jiggle.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. Once cool, chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for the best texture.
  10. Lift the cheesecake using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares. Serve your rich cream cheese dessert.

Notes

  • For a bakery style cheesecake at home, chill the bars completely before slicing. A warm cheesecake will not slice cleanly.
  • If you prefer a different base, substitute the graham cracker crust with a crushed Oreo cookie crust.
  • You can use mini chocolate chips for a more even distribution throughout the filling.
