Description
Delicious Blueberry Cheesecake Bars with a creamy filling and a buttery crust, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups Fresh Blueberries
- 1 1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 1/2 cup Butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by preheating it to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until resembling wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased baking pan.
- Craft the filling by mixing softened cream cheese until smooth in a large bowl. Gradually add sugar and beat until combined. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing just until blended.
- Add the vanilla extract, mixing until evenly combined.
- Fold in the fresh blueberries gently, keeping them whole.
- Combine the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust in the baking pan and bake for 45-50 minutes until the center is set.
- Cool the bars at room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least four hours.
- Slice into squares and garnish with powdered sugar or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
For the best results, ensure cream cheese is softened, and do not rush the chilling phase for easier slicing.
