Ingredients:
For the Crust
Ingredient Quantity
Graham cracker crumbs 1 1/2 cups
Melted butter 1/2 cup
For the Filling
Ingredient Quantity
Cream cheese, softened 16 ounces
Granulated sugar 1 cup
Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
Large eggs 2
All-purpose flour 1/4 cup
Instructions:
Prep for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are thoroughly moistened. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a firm crust.
Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it’s smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until they’re well combined and incorporated.
Add Eggs and Flour: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully blended. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix once the flour is added.
Assemble and Bake: Pour the prepared cream cheese batter evenly over the graham cracker crust in the baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges appear set and the center of the filling is still slightly jiggly when gently shaken.
Cool and Chill: Remove the pan from the oven and let the cream cheese squares cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once at room temperature, transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill the squares for at least 2 hours to allow them to set fully, making them easier to cut and ensuring the best texture.
Slice and Serve: Once thoroughly chilled and set, cut the cream cheese into squares. Serve them cold and enjoy!
