Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8 minutes and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/2 cup sugar and mix until combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla, flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  6. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before slicing.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best texture, but frozen can be used without thawing.
  • Bars can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Line the pan with parchment for easy removal and clean edges.
