Instructions
Now that you have all your ingredients, it's time to start making these delicious holiday cheesecake bars!
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Make the Graham Cracker Crust
In a food processor, crush the graham crackers until they are fine crumbs. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar and beat until well combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
Step 4: Assemble and Bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the baked crust and spread it evenly. Drop spoonfuls of cranberry sauce on top of the filling and swirl it gently with a knife. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Once done, let the bars cool to room temperature before chilling them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Once chilled, slice into squares and top with whipped cream before serving.
