Ingredients
Crust:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 10 full-sheet graham crackers or 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 1/2 stick
Cheesecake filling:
- 16 ounces cream cheese room temp
- 2 eggs
- 2 lemons lemon zested and juiced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 9-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper leaving enough overhang on the sides. Set aside.
- Crust: In a food processor, process the sugar and graham crackers. Add the melted butter and pulse a couple of times to fully incorporate. Pour into your lined baking pan and gently pat down. Bake in the oven for 9 minutes until golden. Allow to cool as you prepare the filling.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the softened cream cheese for 1 minute on medium speed until smooth. Add in the egg, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. Spoon filling onto the prepared crust.
- 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 lining and slice into bars. Serve with extra blueberries and zest if you prefer.
