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
2 cups fresh blueberries
¼ cup blueberry preserves
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening the sauce)

How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until just combined.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
While the cheesecake cools, prepare the blueberry topping. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries, blueberry preserves, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using). Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Once the cheesecake is cool, pour the blueberry sauce over the top, spreading it evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
When ready to serve, cut into bars and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

Ensure your cream cheese is softened for a smooth batter.
For a thicker topping, let the blueberry sauce simmer a little longer to reduce further.
Don’t skip the chilling time; it helps the bars set perfectly.
Use a sharp knife to cut clean slices; dipping it in warm water will help.

Easy Variations

Swap blueberries for raspberries or strawberries for a different flavor profile.
Add a layer of lemon curd under the cheesecake for a citrusy twist.
Top with whipped cream and mint leaves for a fresh presentation.

What to Serve With It

A scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra creaminess.
Fresh whipped cream for a light topping.
A cup of coffee or tea to balance the sweetness.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. These bars can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature. For longer storage, freeze them in single portions, wrapped tightly, for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
