Description

These blueberry bars combine the tartness of fresh blueberries, the creamy richness of cheesecake, and a buttery crumble for a delightful treat. Perfect for any occasion, they’re easy to make and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (450g) blueberries
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (for blueberry filling)
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (250g) flour, 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, and 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to create a crumbly mixture. Set aside 1/3 of it for the topping.
  3. Beat 8 oz (225g) cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/2 cup (100g) sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and set aside.
  4. In a saucepan, combine 3 cups (450g) blueberries, 1/4 cup (50g) sugar, 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice, and 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Press 2/3 of the crumble mixture into the prepared pan to form the base. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust, followed by the blueberry filling. Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture over the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheesecake layer is set. Let cool completely before slicing.
  7. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour before cutting for clean edges. Use a sharp knife to slice into bars.

Notes

For best results, let the bars cool completely before slicing. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour for cleaner cuts. Taste your blueberries beforehand and adjust sugar if needed.
