INGREDIENTS

  • Crust

    • 🍪 ½ (14.4 ounce) package graham crackers, coarsely broken
    • 🍚 3 tablespoons white sugar
    • 🌰 ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 🧈 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • Filling

    • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
    • 🍚 ¾ cup white sugar
    • 🍋 3 medium lemons, zested and juiced
    • 🥚 3 large eggs
    • 2 ½ cups fresh blueberries

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan. Place parchment paper in the pan with an overhang for easy removal.

2

Combine graham crackers, sugar, and cinnamon in a food processor until fine. Gradually add melted butter and pulse until it resembles wet sand. Press mixture into the pan to form a crust.

3

Bake crust in the oven for about 12 minutes or until set.

4

In a food processor, blend cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest, and juice until smooth. Add eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition.

5

Pour the cream cheese mixture onto the baked crust. Sprinkle blueberries evenly over the top.

6

Bake for 45 minutes or until the filling is set except for a slight jiggle in the center.

7

Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.

8

Remove cheesecake using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 16 bars.
