Print Recipe

These Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Bars are a refreshing and creamy dessert featuring a buttery crust, tangy lemon-infused cheesecake filling, and juicy blueberries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, to coat blueberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  6. Optional: Toss blueberries with flour to prevent sinking, then gently fold into the cheesecake mixture.
  7. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the center is just set and edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before slicing into bars.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best texture.
  • Chilling overnight enhances flavor and firmness.
  • Lining the pan with parchment helps with easy removal.
