Equipment

  • 9x9-inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • For the Crust:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • For the Blueberry Topping:
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  • Make the Crust:
  • In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
  • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
  • In a 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 and sour cream until fully combined.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake:
  • Bake the bars for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Prepare the Blueberry Topping:
  • In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries break down slightly (about 5–7 minutes).
  • Allow the topping to cool completely.
  • Assemble the Bars:
  • Spread the cooled blueberry topping evenly over the chilled cheesecake layer.
  • Slice and Serve:
  • Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
