Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (raspberries, strawberries, or more blueberries) for sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Squares

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to break them apart.
  6. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or overnight for optimal texture.
  8. For the berry sauce, combine the mixed berries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently, until the berries break down and create a sauce. Remove from heat and let cool.
  9. Once the cheesecake is set, lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and drizzle with the fresh berry sauce before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
  • Don’t overmix once you add the eggs to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
  • Chill the cheesecake squares overnight for the best flavor and texture.
  • Feel free to experiment with different berries in the sauce for variety.

Easy Variations

  • Use a chocolate cookie crust instead of graham crackers for a twist.
  • Substitute the blueberries with other fruits like cherries or peaches.
  • Add a hint of almond extract for a unique flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

  • A dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess.
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the flavors.
  • Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover cheesecake squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The berry sauce can be stored separately in the fridge for up to a week. These squares are best enjoyed chilled and do not require reheating.
