Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a 23x33cm (9x13 inch) baking pan.

   Yaklaşık 5 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Greasing the pan well ensures the bars will come out cleanly after cooling.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and one egg for the crust.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

3. 3

   Mix until a thick, stiff dough forms.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: The dough will be dense, similar to a cookie dough.

4. 4

   Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking pan.

   Yaklaşık 3 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Use your fingertips or the back of a spoon to create an even layer.

5. 5

   In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

   Yaklaşık 2 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Ensuring the cream cheese is fully softened and lump-free is key to a smooth filling.

6. 6

   Add the two eggs for the filling, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

7. 7

   Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and beat on low speed until just combined and smooth.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

   Aşçının notu: Avoid overmixing, which can incorporate too much air into the filling.

8. 8

   Pour the cream cheese filling over the crust and spread it into an even layer.

   Yaklaşık 1 dk.

9. 9

   Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still has a slight jiggle.

   Yaklaşık 45 dk.

   Aşçının notu: The center will firm up completely as it cools.

10. 10

    Place the pan on a wire rack and let it cool completely to room temperature, for at least one hour.

    Yaklaşık 1 sa.

    Aşçının notu: Do not attempt to cut the bars while warm, as the filling needs time to set.

11. 11

    Once fully cooled, cut into bars and serve.
