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.

BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS

Easy summer dessert from Kraft. I actually made these as blackberry, rather than blueberry, and substituted a 21-ounce can of blackberry pie filling I had on hand for the jam and the blueberries.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them and drain them thoroughly before using.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender to make the cheesecake filling. Just be sure to blend it until it is smooth and creamy.
  • To make the crust, you can use either graham cracker crumbs or crushed vanilla wafers. If you are using graham cracker crumbs, be sure to press them firmly into the bottom of the pan so that the crust is compact.
  • Bake the cheesecake until the center is just set. It should still be slightly wobbly when you shake the pan. If you overbake it, the cheesecake will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it to set and firm up.
  • Serve the cheesecake with fresh blueberries, whipped cream, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Blueberry cheesecake squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a creamy cheesecake filling, a graham cracker crust, and fresh blueberries, these squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give blueberry cheesecake squares a try. You won't be disappointed!
