Yield 10 bars

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the base:
Butter, for greasing
2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
9 graham crackers
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 eggs
2 lemons, zested and juiced
About 1/2 cup sugar, eyeball it
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. For the base: 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. For the filling: 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.

I had some trouble getting the crust to set properly, but other than that, these bars were delicious.

These bars are a bit too tart for my taste, but I think I just need to add a little more sugar to the recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake, but these bars were surprisingly good. The lemon flavor really balances out the sweetness of the cheesecake.

These bars are the perfect make-ahead dessert. I made them a day ahead of time and they were still delicious.

I've tried a lot of different cheesecake bar recipes, but this one is definitely my favorite. The crust is the perfect combination of crunchy and crumbly, and the cheesecake filling is creamy and smooth.

These bars are so delicious and refreshing! The lemon flavor is not too overpowering and the blueberries add a nice pop of sweetness.

I've made these bars several times now and they always turn out perfect. The lemon and blueberry flavors are perfectly balanced and the crust is buttery and flaky.
