Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar, mixing until the texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared dish. Bake for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until creamy. Pour over the cooled crust.
  4. Evenly distribute diced strawberries over the cheesecake layer, pressing gently into the filling.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over strawberries.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Let cool on a wire rack for about one hour.
  7. Refrigerate for at least one hour to fully set. Lift bars out of the baking dish, cut into squares, and enjoy!
