    Easy Strawberry Cheesecake Bars

    During the summer months, we like to have quick and easy desserts for last minute bbq’s. I have shared quite a few desserts here on my blog that you can make when pressed for time. One of my favorites that I have shared is our Easy Strawberry Pie. These Easy Strawberry Cheesecake Bars are so super simple too. Since there is little prep, it is perfect when you need a dessert for picnics, BBQ’s, and potlucks.

    We love No Bake Cheesecakes like our No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake. Regular No Bake Cheesecakes are easy but more difficult when you are needing a dessert that feeds a crowd. Desserts that can be transported in a basic cake pan/casserole dish are best.

    These cheesecake bars were perfect for feeding our group this past weekend. The pan was gone in no time because everyone insisted on having just a small piece. That small piece turned into seconds for most of us, ha ha.

    Having these bars in the pan made them simple to serve. I sliced them into squares and we were able to lift them out with a simple spatula.

    To make this easy crowd pleasing cheesecake dessert, you will need cream cheese, graham crackers, sugar, butter, Cool-Whip, and pie filling. I used a strawberry pie filling because we love strawberries. You could also use blueberry, cherry, or even peach pie filling.

      Beware there is too much Graham cracker crumbs for butter. I suggest 2 cups crumbs to 1/2 cup butter. Otherwise the recipe was great!

      This was a hit at the carry in this weekend. Only thing I will change for next time is more butter for the crust. It was not enough to hold the Graham cracker crumbs together.

      Do you think a brownie crust instead of a graham cracker crust would be good?

      What brand of pie filling do you use that looks so bright red and delicious? I used a Duncan Hines brand and when I opened the can it was a grayish pink bunch of mush with grey strawberries. I spread it on anyhow. Then I tasted one of the strawberries and it tasted how it looked. I scraped it all off and I’m going to put frozen strawberries on top. We’ll see how that turns out.
