How to Make Nutella Cheesecake Bars

To make these tasty Nutella Swirl Cheesecake Bars, Simply combine the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla and let the mixer do the work.

Pour the batter onto a homemade buttery graham cracker crust and bake to perfection.

The one and most important rule when making cheesecake is to let it cool. Hot cheesecake, no thank you! Every time I make cheesecake I dread the waiting. As hard as it may be to allow these yummy bars to cool, there’s nothing better than a cold creamy slice of cheesecake. But if I really can’t handle it, I get around the cooling timing by placing the cheesecake in the freezer for 1 hour.

How to Store Cheesecake Bars

Storing these delicious cheesecake bars properly will allow you to enjoy them longer and fresher.

1. Cool to room temperature: First allow the cheesecake bars to cool completely at room temperature before attempting to storing them.
2. Refrigeration: Once they have cooled, wrap the cheesecake bars tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. You can do this individually or cover the entire pan. Alternatively, you can place them in an airtight container. Refrigerate within two hours of baking. These delicious Cheesecake bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

For the Base

• 16 ounces 2 bars full-fat cream cheese at room temp
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 325F. Grease the bottom of a 8×8 -inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper; set aside.
  
  

To Make Base:

• In a food processor, process the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse a couple of times to fully incorporate.

To Make Cheesecake:
