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.

I'm not a big fan of blueberries. Do you think I can substitute them with raspberries or strawberries instead?

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the cheesecake filling.

I have an event coming up and need to prepare a dessert for a large crowd. Do you think this recipe can be doubled or tripled to yield more servings?

These cheesecake bars remind me of my childhood. My mom used to make them all the time when I was growing up. I can't wait to recreate them using this recipe.

This recipe seems a bit too complicated for me. Are there any simpler variations?

I'm allergic to nuts. Can I use graham cracker crumbs instead of the walnuts?

I don't have a springform pan. Can I use a regular 9x13 inch baking dish instead?

Followed the recipe exactly and my bars turned out great. The only modification I made was using frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones since that's what I had on hand. They were still bursting with flavor. Will definitely make this recipe again!

These lemon blueberry cheesecake bars were a hit at my family gathering! The cheesecake filling was smooth and creamy; perfect balance of tartness from the lemon and sweetness from the blueberries. The crust was buttery and flaky. Overall, an easy re
