These Sweet Cream Gooey Bars are one of my new favorite recipes! The filling is so gooey and fabulous and tastes just like melty vanilla ice cream from your favorite upscale parlor.

Ingredients
FOR THE BASE:
1box French vanilla or white cake mix
1/2cup(1 stick) buttermelted
1large egg
FOR THE FILLING:
8ounces(One 8 ounce pkg) cream cheesesoftened
3large eggs
1lb(One 16 ounce box) powdered sugar
1Tbspvanilla bean pasteor sub 2 tsp vanilla extract
Additional powdered sugar for dusting on baked barsoptional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13” rectangular baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
Mix together the crust ingredients until a soft dough comes together. Press into the prepared pan in an even layer; set aside briefly.
Cream the cream cheese until fluffy, about 30 seconds. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the bowl if needed. Beat in the powdered sugar, followed by the creamer, melted butter, and vanilla bean paste.
Pour the filling over the crust and bake for 37-45 minutes or until mostly set. If the center jiggles slightly, that’s okay – you don’t want to over-bake them as they’ll continue to set as they cool.
Cool completely then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set. Dust with additional powdered sugar before serving.
