These decadent dessert bars feature a tender cake-mix crust topped with a luxuriously creamy, sweet cream cheese layer that’s impossible to resist.
Crust
Gooey Layer
1. Preheat the Oven
Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine the dry cake mix, melted butter, and egg until well blended. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Set aside.
3. Make the Cream Cheese Layer
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and mix for 1–2 minutes. Gradually stir in the powdered sugar until fully incorporated.
4. Bake
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are set and the center remains slightly soft. Do not overbake.
5. Cool and Serve
Let the bars cool completely before slicing—this step is essential for achieving that signature gooey texture.
