Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place butter cubes in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Sprinkle in Chinese five-spice powder.
- Cut in frozen butter using a pastry cutter until the butter pieces are about the size of peas. Mix in egg yolk and continue cutting in until thoroughly combined. Drizzle in ice water and stir to combine. The dough should just come together when pinched between your fingers.

- Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden and sides are crisp and browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely before serving.

BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS (SHORTBREAD CRUST)
I can't remember where I got this, but it rocks. One happy accident which I didn't do this time, is to mix the pie filling or preserves into the cheesecake batter. Makes it more stable for transport and handling.

Tips:
- Chill your cheesecake batter: Chilling the batter before baking helps to prevent cracking and ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your cheesecake will be. Fresh blueberries, real vanilla extract, and high-quality cream cheese are all essential for a delicious cheesecake.
- Don't overbeat the batter: Overbeating the batter can incorporate too much air, which can cause the cheesecake to rise too much in the oven and then collapse.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps to create a moist and creamy texture. To make a water bath, place the cheesecake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water.
- Cool the cheesecake slowly: After baking, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door cracked open for an hour. This helps to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
