Cheesecake bars

Hi guys, in this post I want to show how to make cheesecake bars, which you won't getting tired and feel guilty for eating a whole piece of cake like normally ^^ My recipe is kinda like New York cheesecake but I don't use sour cream. Instead, I added a little bit of lemon juice to give a little bit tang flavor to it. Now let's begin^^

Ingredients:

• 2 packs of cream cheese, softened ( I used Philadelphia brands, work best ^^)
• 6 tablespoons of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 2 tsp of vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons of melted butter
• 1 and 1/4 cup of heavy cream
• 6 tablespoons of flour
• 4 eggs (beaten)
• 120 grams of crackers 

Now let's begin:

1. in a plastic bag, smash all the crackers, then add 1 tablespoons of melted butter in. Stir to combine well. 
2. In a 9 by 9 inch square brownie pan, line it with parchment paper. Remember to cut about 2 inch extra more to cover the side of the pan, and it will be easier to lift the cheesecake off after baking. 
3. Pour all the crackers in, press firmly and fill up the whole bottom of the pan. Place in the fridge to set.
4. Preheat your oven at 350F
5. In a mixing bowl, add the softened creamed cheese in ( remember , it must be at room temperature b4 using it, you really next a soft cream cheese to work). Use a whisk or electronic mixer, beat it for a minute. 
6. Add sugar in and whisk it again until all the sugar disappear and dissolves. 
7. Add beaten eggs little by little, heavy cream, lemon juice, the remaining melted butter, vanilla extract
8. Sift the flour into the mixture and combine well with the whisk.
9. Mix until you have a smooth, runny consistency.
10. Pour the mixture to the pan, lightly drop the pan down to get rid of all the air bubbles
11. Bake in a water bath pan for 40-50 minutes.Water bath will keep the cake moist and without cracking. 
12. After baking, leave it to cool down completely. Then put in the fridge to set for at least 3 hours. 
13. After that, use a long knife dipped into hot water, cut about 1 inch thick length, then cut horizontally to those line in the middle. That will give you about 18 bars. 

And NOW IT"S DONE ^^ 

Hope you give this recipe a try, and tell me what do you think about it. Good Luck!
