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
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• ¼ cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

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.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
3. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice until fully combined.
5. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups of the blueberries into the cream cheese mixture.
6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Top with the remaining blueberries.
7. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly wobbly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional 10 minutes.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.
9. Once chilled, lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
• Don’t overmix the batter after adding eggs; this helps prevent cracks.
• For a more intense blueberry flavor, consider swirling some blueberry jam into the filling before baking.

Easy Variations

• Substitute raspberries or strawberries for blueberries for a different twist.
• Add a swirl of lemon curd for a citrusy zing.
• For a chocolate twist, mix in some mini chocolate chips.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of whipped cream or crème fraîche
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish
