Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups milk chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, melted butter, and powdered sugar until the mixture forms a crumbly dough.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the crust is cooling, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

Step 5

Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 6

Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust and spread it evenly using a spatula.

Step 7

Bake the bars in the oven for 10 additional minutes, then remove and allow them to cool completely at room temperature.

Step 8

To make the chocolate topping, melt the milk chocolate chips and heavy cream together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.

Step 9

Spread the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the cooled cream cheese layer.

Step 10

Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 11

Once chilled, lift the bars out of the baking dish using the parchment overhang and cut them into 16 squares or rectangles.

Step 12

Serve chilled and enjoy!
