These Creamy Cream Cheese Funfetti Bars feature a buttery crust, rich cream cheese filling, and colorful sprinkles, making them perfect for any celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (35g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (50g) rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and flour to form a crumbly dough. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and flour, and mix until fully combined.
  5. Pour the cream cheese filling over the baked crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle rainbow sprinkles generously across the top.
  6. Bake the bars for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed around the edges.
  7. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between each slice.

Notes

[‘Make sure cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the filling to prevent cracks.’, ‘Gently tap sprinkles into the filling before baking to ensure they stay in place.’, ‘Chill the bars in the fridge after cooling for cleaner slices.’, ‘Keep an eye on the baking time to avoid overbaking the filling.’]
