Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• ¼ cup water
• 1 tablespoon 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.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing until well combined.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool slowly in the oven for about 1 hour.
6. While the cheesecake cools, prepare the blueberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, powdered sugar, water, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the berries burst and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
7. Once the cheesecake has cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. When ready to serve, lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment overhang, slice it into squares, and drizzle with the fresh blueberry sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
• Don’t overmix the cheesecake batter to avoid incorporating too much air, which can cause cracks.
• For a firmer texture, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight before serving.

Easy Variations

• Swap out blueberries for strawberries or raspberries for a different flavor profile.
• Add a swirl of lemon curd into the cheesecake batter before baking for a citrusy twist.
• For a chocolate lover’s version, fold in mini chocolate chips into the cheesecake batter.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess.
• Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic dessert pairing.
• Coffee or tea to balance the sweetness.
