Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 box yellow cake mix
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
For the Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ½ cups powdered sugar
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat the Oven – Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
Prepare the Crust – In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Stir until fully incorporated, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Make the Filling – In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gradually add the powdered sugar, followed by the melted butter, stirring until smooth and creamy.
Assemble and Bake – Pour the filling over the crust, spreading it evenly. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Cool and Serve – Let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy them as is, or dust with extra powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness!
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: These bars taste best when fully cooled, but if you love an extra gooey texture, try warming them for a few seconds in the microwave before serving.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Freezing: You can freeze the bars for up to 3 months. Wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe container. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
