Strawberry Cheesecake Crumb bars-the delicious taste of Strawberry Cheesecake surrounded by a sweet crumb bar!
We’re in full swing strawberry season here and I’m loving it! There are so many great recipes using strawberries and I want to make them all!
Pies, Cakes, Ice Cream, Jellies, Bars. Where to start first?
With our first batch of strawberries, after eating at least a pound just straight from the field, I made 3 desserts.
I made a Strawberry Cobbler (I’ll share that with you soon) some Strawberry Ice Cream and these bars. Oh and I also made French Toast with an amazing Strawberry Syrup.
These bars were at the top of my list. I love cheesecake. I love cheesecake bars. And when you add in the sweetest, fresh picked strawberries…lets just say, these didn’t last long at all.
The great thing about this recipe is you can adjust it to your personal tastes. If you love the cheesecake center, double that part of the recipe. Want more strawberries? Go ahead, add them. This bar is sturdy enough to take a little extra on the inside.
Oh and the crumb topping? you’ll be trying to get every last crumb off your plate!

April 22, 2014 at 6:49 pmthank you my dear for this amazing recipe, defiantly i did it today, cant wait to cool to give i a try,even though i sneaked a spoon while its still hot.i have some question for you please.
1-when you make the crust does it matter which ingredient to put first?
2- do you press the crust down ( the lower one and the the upper one) when you assemble it in the baking dish?
3- i found it a little bet sweet for me so is it possible to use less sugar, and if yes which one to minimize the one in the crust or the on in the filling .
thank you again, i am very happy that i joined your page

April 27, 2014 at 7:55 amHi Deena. For the crust, no, it doesn’t matter just throw all the ingredients in together and make sure they are combined well. You do want to press the crust into the dish for the bottom layer and then for the top layer, just crumble the crust mixture loosely over the entire top. You can certainly reduce the sugar in either the crust or the filling. Were you able to tell which layer tasted too sweet for you? Keep in mind, the sweetness will also vary depending on how sweet your strawberries are. Happy baking!

April 24, 2014 at 12:49 pmHi there! These look amazing! I want to make them today 🙂 do you have to add cornstarch?
Joan Hayes says
April 27, 2014 at 7:47 amIf you don’t have cornstarch, you can leave it out, your topping will just be a bit crunchier.
