Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars
Hi everyone! I wanted to tell you about our newest favorite treat! We had these amazing Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars last week at my little brother’s wedding rehearsal dinner. They have a Red Velvet cake bottom and the topping is like a cross between Cheesecake and Paula Deen’s Butter cake. So pretty much the best thing ever. Uncle Bee took one bite and immediately said, ‘You NEED to make these for the blog.’ LOL! I am NOT a baker, in any way shape or form, but I can google, so I did. I googled Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars for a solid hour and never found anything that even closely resembled the delicious bars we had. Finally I came across these Strawberry Cheesecake bars that use a box strawberry cake mix for the bottom and the topping closely resembled what I was looking for. So I decided to try to substitute Red Velvet cake mix for the Strawberry cake mix. It worked and they turned out exactly like the delicious Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars we had at the wedding rehearsal. They are also ridiculously easy to make! If you like Red Velvet cake and cheesecake, you have to give these a try!
Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients
1 box Red Velvet cake mix
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 (8oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 (16oz) package powdered sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 F. In a bowl, combine melted butter and boxed cake mix. Add in 1 egg and mix thoroughly. (Mixture will be thick). Press into a Pam sprayed 13×9 Pyrex dish. Next beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, 2 eggs, and Vanilla Extract on medium speed with an electric mixture until creamy. Pour over the cake batter. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until set and top is barely starting to brown slightly. Allow to cool completely before slicing into bars. Enjoy with a tall glass of milk!
