These churro cheesecake bars combine a crispy cinnamon sugar crumble with a creamy cheesecake filling and a buttery crust, delivering a cozy, nostalgic dessert that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190g)
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar (135g)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter (170g), melted and slightly cooled
  • Pinch of salt
  • 16 oz cream cheese (450g), softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream (120ml) or Greek yogurt (can swap for dairy-free coconut yogurt)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ⅔ cup sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press 2/3 of the crumble mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake this crust for 10 minutes until set and just starting to turn golden.
  4. While the crust bakes, beat the softened cream cheese and ½ cup sugar on medium speed until smooth and creamy (about 3-4 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Mix in vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the warm crust, spreading evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the top gently, covering as much as possible but leaving some cheesecake visible.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cheesecake is mostly set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  9. Cut into bars using a sharp knife warmed under hot water for smooth edges. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients to avoid lumps. Do not overmix the batter to prevent cracks. Press the crust firmly for a solid base. Use parchment paper for easy removal. Watch baking times carefully to keep the cheesecake slightly jiggly in the center. For best texture, chill overnight. Warm knife before cutting for clean edges.
