Neiman Marcus Sweet (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Crust Layer

01 - 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter (1 stick)

02 - 2 eggs, large

03 - 1 package yellow cake mix

→ Cheesecake Filling

04 - 1 pound powdered sugar (4 cups)

05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

06 - 2 large eggs

07 - 8 ounces cream cheese, soft

# Instructions:

01 - Turn the oven on to preheat at 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan, or use parchment so it lifts out easily.

02 - Stir together the cake mix, eggs, and melted butter in a big bowl. Push the dough into the bottom of your prepared pan so it’s even.

03 - Using another bowl, cream the softened cream cheese until silky. Blend the eggs and vanilla in until everything’s smooth. Little by little, mix in the powdered sugar.

04 - Spread the cream cheese filling on top of the crust evenly.

05 - Bake for 35–40 minutes. The sides should firm up, but the center will still jiggle a little for that gooey texture.

06 - Let the dessert rest in the pan until cooled completely. Slice it into portions, and you’re good to go!

# Notes:

01 - Sink your teeth into this buttery, ultra-rich Neiman Marcus dessert, featuring a creamy layer on top of a soft base. It's simple to make and tough to stop eating.

02 - Want an extra creamy filling? Mix in a splash or two of milk when preparing it.

03 - Craving some crunch? Toss chopped nuts or chocolate chips over the top before baking.

04 - Switch up the flavor profile with different types of cake mix, like chocolate or cinnamon spice.
