LEMON BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS



Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     dessert

Time 4h

Yield 10 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

Butter, for greasing
2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
9 graham crackers
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
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.
  • 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.

LEMON-BLUEBERRY BARS



Lemon-Blueberry Bars image

Fresh blueberries make these lemon bars a bit sweeter than usual, and very jammy, but without compromising their essential acidity. The grated lime zest gives the curd another note of citrus complexity. But if you'd rather leave out the lime, use more lemon zest. Or try playing with orange and grapefruit zests. The filling stays pretty soft in these tender bars, so it's best to keep them in the fridge until right before serving, then dust with powdered sugar at the last minute.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups/160 grams all-purpose flour
1/3 cup/40 grams confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
10 tablespoons/140 grams cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 1/2 cups/300 grams granulated sugar
3/4 cup/180 milliliters fresh lemon juice (from 4 to 8 lemons)
3 large egg yolks
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Pinch of fine sea salt
8 tablespoons/113 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), diced
1/2 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest (optional or substitute lemon zest)
3/4 cup/80 grams fresh blueberries

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees and line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper so it hangs over the edges on all sides by a few inches. (You may need to use two pieces of parchment.)
  • Make the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse to combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest and salt. Add butter and pulse until a crumbly dough forms, about 10 seconds. (Or mix dry ingredients in a bowl and use pastry cutter to cut in butter, clumping the mixture together in your hands until it holds together.) Press dough into prepared pan. Bake until light golden, 25 to 35 minutes.
  • As crust bakes, make the curd: In a medium pot, whisk together the granulated sugar, lemon juice, egg yolks, whole eggs, cornstarch and fine sea salt until well combined. Place over medium heat and stir with a heatproof rubber spatula (or wooden spoon), making sure to scrape around the sides and edges of the pot, until mixture is simmering and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Bring mixture to a boil and let cook for about 30 seconds, but no longer than 1 minute. Immediately strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Stir in butter, lemon zest and lime zest, and stir until butter melts. Stir in blueberries.
  • Pour mixture over crust, then stir to evenly distribute berries. Return to oven, and bake until blueberries begin to burst and curd starts to turn golden around the edges, 33 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator until thoroughly cold before cutting, at least 3 hours. Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar right before serving.

BLUEBERRY PIE BARS



Blueberry Pie Bars image

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18
