Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Blueberry Sauce:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Press mixture into a lined 9x13 baking dish and bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • Make the cheesecake filling: Beat softened cream cheese, sugar, and salt until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, followed by sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  • Prepare blueberry sauce: Cook blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice over medium heat until thickened.
  • Assemble: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust. Swirl blueberry sauce on top. Bake at 325°F for 35-40 minutes. Cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing.

Notes

  • For extra lemon flavor, increase lemon zest and juice slightly.
  • These bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Make sure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
