Holy cheesecakes, Batman. This recipe is going to blow your mind, well at least your tastebuds. Now, I’ll confess I’ve never tried a vanilla slice before… but I imagine this is what one might be like… but BETTER. This Thermomix Mexican Cheesecake Bars recipe is a new favourite for me. We had a Mexican dinner night where everyone brought a dish, and I brought this. I whipped it up in the Thermomix and it was so easy.
Thermomix Mexican Cheesecake Bars Recipe
Ingredients
2 sheets of puff pastry
500g cream cheese, at room temperature
280g caster sugar
70g sour cream, at room temperature
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 egg
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup caster sugar, extra
80g butter, melted
Method
- Preheat your oven to 180ºC. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Lay one of the puff pastry sheets onto the tray {cut to fit}. Poke holes in the puff pastry with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Prepare the cheesecake mix in a Thermomix {or bowl with a mixer}. Place the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl, and mix on Speed 5/30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl and mix Speed 5/5 seconds.
- Add the egg, sour cream and vanilla and mix on Speed 5/10 seconds.
- Once the pastry base is cooked, let it sit to cool for 5 minutes {if it’s puffy, it will deflate}. Spread the cheesecake mix onto the base, and then top with the second puff pastry sheet.
- Combine the remaining sugar and cinnamon. Brush the top with the melted butter, and then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Bake for 25 minutes. Let cool for half an hour, and then place in the fridge for a couple of hours. Once cooled completely and set, cut into squares. Enjoy.
Oh yum! I’ll have what you’re having!
Hi
Just wondering what size tray you used for this?
It was 30cm by 20cm. ?
