Strawberry Topping
- Add the strawberries, sugar, water and salt to a small saucepan and bring them to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously. Then, reduce heat to medium low heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, using a wooden spoon to help break down the strawberries; set aside to cool a bit.
Cheesecake
- For the cheesecake layer, Add the cream cheese, sour cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla to a large bowl and mix with a hand or stand mixer until smooth.
- Scoop the cheesecake mixture out onto the graham cracker crust and smooth it out with a spatula. Then, pour the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese mixture and spread out evenly. Once evenly spread out, take a butter knife and swirl the strawberry sauce into the cream cheese.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake the bars for 35 minutes. Remove them from the oven and wait 15 minutes before transferring them to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow them to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
