Vanilla Cream Bars
One of my favourite desserts to make is anything 'bars'. You can cut them as small or big as you like, and are a no-fail recipe to make. Vanilla Cream Bars are like heaven.

Ingredients
- • 2 cups all-purpose flour
- • 1/3 cup white sugar
- • 1 cup butter softened
- • 1 80z. package cream cheese softened
- • 1 cup icing sugar
- • 1 package vanilla pudding mix 4 serving size
- • 3/4 cup cold milk
- • Coloured sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300ºF.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour and sugar. Add in the butter and beat with an electric mixer on medium until crumbly.
- Add the dough mixture to a 13x9 inch ungreased pan and press down to make the shortbread base.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until edges of the shortbread are golden. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Add the cream cheese and icing sugar in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined.
- Add milk and pudding mix and continue to beat until smooth.
- Spoon the pudding mixture on the shortbread base and spread with a spoon evenly to cover.
- Sprinkle coloured sprinkles on top.
- Put in the fridge to set for a minimum one hour. I find it’s easier to cut if you leave it set overnight.
