How to make the blueberry cheesecake bars

There are few simple steps you need to follow to create this mouthwatering treat that will impress your family and friends. First prepare the blueberry sauce, then continue with the crust and cream cheese filling. Assemble the cake and bake. Chill and enjoy of the best cheesecake bars ever.

How to prepare the blueberry sauce 

In a saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir the mixture and bring it to a boil. Allow it to simmer for approximately 5 minutes until the blueberries become soft and the sauce thickens. Once done, strain the sauce and set it aside to cool.

How to make the crust 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Take an 8-inch (20cm) square springform pan and line it with parchment paper. In a food processor, crush graham crackers or digestive biscuits until they turn into fine crumbs.

Add melted butter and sugar to the crumbs and mix until they are evenly moistened. Press this crumbly mixture firmly onto the bottom of the prepared pan using the back of a spoon. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes until it turns golden. Once baked, set it aside to cool completely.

How to prepare the cream cheese filling 

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy. Add sugar, a pinch of salt, and cornstarch to the cream cheese, mixing until everything is well combined. Crack an egg into the mixture and blend it thoroughly. Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and sour cream, ensuring a smooth and well-blended batter. Be cautious not to overmix the batter to avoid incorporating excess air.

How to assemble and bake the blueberry cheesecake bars 

Pour the prepared cream cheese filling over the cooled crust in the pan. Take the blueberry sauce you prepared earlier and gently spoon it on top of the cream cheese layer. Use a skewer to create beautiful swirls on the surface, combining the two layers to create an enticing marbled pattern.

Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C) and bake the cheesecake bars for 25-30 minutes. Once done, remove the pan from the oven and run a sharp knife around the inner edge to loosen the bars. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature. Cover the pan and refrigerate the bars overnight to allow them to set perfectly.

The next day, carefully transfer the chilled Blueberry Cheesecake Bars onto a serving platter. Cut them into squares and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy cheesecake and juicy blueberry swirls.
