LEMON BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Grease the bottom of a 9 by 9-inch baking pan with butter. Then place parchment paper over the top, pressing down at the corners. In a food processor, process the sugar, cinnamon and graham crackers until you have the texture of bread crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse a couple of times to fully incorporate. Pour into the lined baking pan and gently pat down with the base of a glass. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes until golden. When done set aside to cool.
- Add cream cheese, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar to the food processor and mix until well combined. It should have a smooth consistency. Pour onto the cooled base and then cover with blueberries. They will sink slightly but should still be half exposed -- as the cake bakes they will sink a little more and break down.
- Bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until the center only slightly jiggles. Remove from the oven and cool completely before refrigerating for at least 3 hours. Once set, remove from pan using the parchment lining and slice into 10 rectangular bars. Dust with powdered sugar.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Start by making the crust. In a medium bowl, stir together the 2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons white sugar, lemon zest and salt. Cut in the 1/2 cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg and vanilla together; stir into the crumb mixture until a dough forms. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- Sprinkle blueberries over the crust. Combine the 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg; sprinkle over the blueberries. Make the topping: In a medium bowl, cream together the 5 tablespoons butter and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the flour, so that the mixture is crumbly like streusel. Sprinkle over the blueberry layer.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until browned. Cool and then dust with confectioners' sugar before cutting into bars.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan. Place parchment paper over the top of the pan and press down at the corners so you have a slight overhang.
- Combine graham crackers, sugar, and cinnamon for crust in the bowl of a food processor; process until combined and has the consistency of bread crumbs. Pour melted butter in slowly and pulse a couple of times to fully incorporate; the mixture will look like wet sand. Scrape into the prepared baking pan and pat firmly with the bottom of a glass.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 12 minutes.
- Combine cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice for filling in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, blending to combine between each addition; process until smooth.
- Remove crust from the oven. Pour filling on top and sprinkle evenly with blueberries; they will sink slightly into the filling, this is okay.
- Bake until filling is mostly set and only slightly jiggly in the center, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.
- Remove from the pan using the parchment lining and slice into 12 bars.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon zest and juice give these bars the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use 1 tablespoon of bottled lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bars until they are just set. Overbaking will make the bars dry. Bake the bars until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Chill the bars before serving. Chilling the bars will help them to set and make them easier to cut.
Conclusion:
These quick lemon blueberry cheese bars are the perfect summer dessert. They're easy to make, delicious, and refreshing. The lemon and blueberry flavors are a perfect combination, and the cheesecake layer adds a creamy richness. These bars are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
