Number Of Ingredients 9

3 c blueberries
1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
6 Tbsp butter melted
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c sugar
2 pkg (8 ounce) cream cheese softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs

Steps:

  • 1. Combine blueberries and 1/2 cup of sugar in small saucepan. Cover and place on low heat. Simmer for 10 minutes and remove from heat. After pan cools place in the refrigerator to chill and thicken for 1-2 hours.

I'm not a big fan of blueberries, but I loved these bars! The cream cheese filling was so rich and decadent, and the crust was the perfect combination of flaky and buttery. I'll definitely be making these again, even if I have to use a different type

Overall, I thought these bars were good, but they weren't my favorite. I might try a different recipe next time.

These bars were a bit dry. I think I might try adding a little bit of milk or cream to the cream cheese filling next time.

I had some trouble getting the crust to stay together. I think I might have needed to press it into the pan more firmly.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've made these bars several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The crust is flaky and buttery, the cream cheese filling is smooth and creamy, and the blueberries add a pop of sweetness and tartness. I highly recommend them!
