No-Bake Funfetti Cheesecake Bars
Cuisine: Dessert
Prep time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 20-24 bars
 
Ingredients
  • Crust!
  • 12 graham crackers
  • 6 tbsp. butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • Filling!
  • 2 x 8 oz. packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • ⅛ tsp. salt
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup sprinkles + more for topping if desired
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
Instructions
  1. Using a food processor, crush the graham crackers until they are in small crumbs. Mix the graham crackers and butter in a small bowl until evenly combined.
  2. Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. I used a 6x9 baking dish but an 8x8 or 8x12 would also work, your bars may just be thicker or thinner! Line the dish with parchment paper ensuring there is enough overhanging to remove the bars. Press the graham cracker crust into the pan and refrigerate while you make the filling.
  3. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, combine cream cheese and powdered sugar until fluffy and smooth. Add vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt and mix again. Fold in sour cream.
  4. Fold in ¼ cup sprinkles and immediately pour into the prepared dish. If you wait too long, the sprinkles will bleed their dye into the filling. This won't affect the taste, just the appearance!
  5. Freeze for 8 hours or until solid.
  6. Let the bars sit on the counter for 15 minutes until you can loosen the edges with a knife. Use the parchment paper to remove them from the pan.
  7. Slice the bars with a sharp knife and top with additional sprinkles, if desired.
  8. Enjoy!
