Enjoy these delightful Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars, a perfect blend of tangy lemon, sweet blueberries, and creamy cheesecake nestled on a graham cracker crust. They’re easy to make and a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined.
  3. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  8. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is almost set.
  10. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Then, chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.

Notes

  • For easier cutting, chill the bars thoroughly.
  • You can use frozen blueberries, but do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
  • Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
