These creamy blueberry cheesecake bars feature a buttery crust, tangy cream cheese filling, and a sweet blueberry topping, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 teaspoon water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8 minutes and let cool.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading evenly.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, water, and sugar. Simmer over medium heat until the berries soften. Add the cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Let cool slightly before spooning over the cheesecake layer.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are slightly set and the center jiggles slightly. Cool completely before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
  7. Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

[‘Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smoother cheesecake layer.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the eggs to prevent air bubbles.’, ‘Let the crust cool completely before adding the cheesecake filling.’, ‘Thaw and drain frozen blueberries before cooking.’, ‘Refrigerate overnight for the best texture and flavor.’]
