Easy Mango Cheesecake Bars Recipe

This dessert features a buttery graham cracker crust topped with a creamy mango cheesecake filling. The recipe takes about 1 hour to prepare and chill, yielding approximately 12 bars.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pureed ripe mango (about 2 medium mangoes)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Fresh mango slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×9 inch baking pan.
Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, mango puree, and lemon juice until fully combined.
Pour and Bake: Pour the mango cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Cool and Chill: Allow the bars to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into squares.
Serve: Garnish with fresh mango slices if desired, and enjoy your delicious mango cheesecake bars!
