Ingredients
Crust
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C) and greasing a baking dish—this will ensure your delicious squares come out easily.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Stir until everything is well blended and has a nice, smooth texture.
- Press this buttery mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish. This will be the base for your luscious cheesecake.
- In a separate bowl, take your softened cream cheese and mix it with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Beat this together until it’s irresistibly smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time into the cream cheese mixture, mixing well after each addition to keep it light and airy.
- Pour the creamy filling over the crust and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly firm to the touch.
- Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.
- Once chilled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
