Bar- Cocoa Streusal Cheesecake Bars
List of Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 sticks butter, cold
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 egg
2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. F. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cocoa. Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly and rather day. If you don't mind a little mess, it is easier to do this with your hands. Reserve 2 cups of the mixture for the topping. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13-inch pan (we prefer glass). Bake the crust for 15 minutes. While the crust is baking, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in the condensed milk until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix well. Pour the cream cheese mixute over the crust. If your are using walnuts, combine them with the 2 cups of reserved cocoa mixture. Sprinkle over the top of the cream cheese filling. Bake for 25 minutes or until bubbly. Chill, cut, and store in the refrigerator. Yield about 20 bars. Prep time: 10 minutes. Baking time: 40 minutes.
