Tangy Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

Today, I’m excited to share a delightful recipe for Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars. The tangy lemon, sweet blueberries, and creamy cheesecake combined in this dessert are perfect for any occasion, from a family gathering to a summer picnic.

Ingredients:

• cream cheese (250g)
• sugar (150g)
• eggs (2)
• lemon zest and juice (1 lemon)
• vanilla extract (1 tsp)
• blueberries (100g)
• butter (50g)
• digestive biscuits (150g)

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• measuring cups
• baking dish

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C. In a food processor, crush the digestive biscuits until they resemble fine crumbs. Melt the butter and mix it with the biscuit crumbs. Press this mixture into the bottom of a lined baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes until set.

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set.

Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing into squares. For an extra burst of flavor, you can garnish with additional blueberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 800g, with 12 servings. Each serving is approximately 67g, with an estimated calorie count of 220 per portion.

One unique tip for these Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars is to let them chill in the refrigerator overnight before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, creating an even more delicious dessert.
