LEMON BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS
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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan. Place parchment paper over the top of the pan and press down at the corners so you have a slight overhang.
- Combine graham crackers, sugar, and cinnamon for crust in the bowl of a food processor; process until combined and has the consistency of bread crumbs. Pour melted butter in slowly and pulse a couple of times to fully incorporate; the mixture will look like wet sand. Scrape into the prepared baking pan and pat firmly with the bottom of a glass.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 12 minutes.
- Combine cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice for filling in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, blending to combine between each addition; process until smooth.
- Remove crust from the oven. Pour filling on top and sprinkle evenly with blueberries; they will sink slightly into the filling, this is okay.
- Bake until filling is mostly set and only slightly jiggly in the center, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.
- Remove from the pan using the parchment lining and slice into 12 bars.

LEMON-BLUEBERRY BARS
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.

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.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese.
- If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries that have been thawed and drained.
- To make the bars easier to cut, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- You can also add other fruits to the bars, such as raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries.
- If you want a more tart bar, use more lemon juice.
Conclusion:
These lemon blueberry cheese bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple shortbread crust, a creamy cheesecake filling, and a sweet and tangy lemon blueberry topping. The bars are baked until golden brown and then chilled until firm. They can be served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
