Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a food processor or zipped top bag (using a rolling pin), crush graham crackers until very fine. You will need to do in batches. In a large bowl, combine graham crackers with melted butter. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray and press half of the graham cracker into the bottom of the form, forming the crust. Bake for 15 minutes and let cool completely.
- In a medium sized saucepan, over medium heat, cook together blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, water, cornstarch and lemon zest, stirring constantly, until thickened. Set aside and let cool completely.
- In another bowl, beat together cream cheese and the rest of the sugar until fluffy and sugar is completely dissolved. With a rubber spatula, slowly fold in Cool Whip.
- Assemble dessert by placing half the cream cheese mixture inside the cooled crust. Spread slowly and evenly until crust is completely covered. Continue with cooled blueberry mixture over the cream cheese layer and top with remaining cream cheese mixture and then remaining graham cracker crumb mixture. Press crumbs softly into the cream cheese mixture.
- Let sit overnight in the refrigerator before slicing into squares. Serve cold.

BLUEBERRY PIE BARS
At first glance, these bars may look like every other fruit crumble bar you've had, but they have a secret. Between the jammy fruit and buttery shortbread is a bonus layer of sweetened cream cheese you never knew you needed until now. Wild blueberries are less watery than conventional blueberries and have a more concentrated blueberry flavor that works beautifully in this recipe. They are available frozen and need not be thawed before using, but you can use whichever variety you find. These bars will be delicious no matter what.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. In a food processor, combine shortbread cookies, sugar, flour and salt and pulse until you have fine crumbs. Add butter and pulse until crumbs are evenly moistened. Transfer mixture into the prepared pan and press down into an even layer. Bake until fragrant and a shade darker, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare filling: In a medium bowl, add cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 egg and mix until smooth. In a separate medium bowl, add blueberries, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, cornstarch and salt, and toss to combine.
- Prepare topping: In a food processor, combine shortbread, flour, salt, baking powder and sugar and pulse to combine. Add butter and egg yolk, and pulse until the mixture is evenly moistened.
- Remove crust from oven and top it evenly with cream cheese mixture and then blueberry mixture. Sprinkle topping over blueberry layer, squeezing to make some larger clumps. Bake until filling is set and no longer jiggly, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- To serve, use a sharp knife to release edges. Using parchment overhang, lift and transfer to a cutting board and cut into 16 squares.

Tips:
- Use fresh blueberries: Fresh blueberries have the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries can be used as a substitute.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the squares until they are just set: Overbaking will make the squares dry. Bake the squares until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the squares cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the squares to firm up.
- Store the squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the squares for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Blueberry cream cheese squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple cream cheese batter that is topped with fresh blueberries. The squares are then baked until they are just set and then cooled completely. These squares are a great way to use up fresh blueberries and they are always a hit with family and friends.
