Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your No Bake Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until well mixed and resembles wet sand.
2. Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture into an 8×8-inch square baking pan. Press it evenly into the bottom to create a firm crust.
3. Chill the Crust: Place the crust in the refrigerator while you make the filling to allow it to set.
4. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.
5. Add Lemon Ingredients: Mix in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
6. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon cheesecake mixture until no streaks remain.
7. Combine Mixtures: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Chill Again: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight to set.
9. Prepare the Blueberry Topping: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries begin to burst and the mixture becomes syrupy, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
10. Top the Bars: Once the cheesecake has set, pour the cooled blueberry mixture over the top and spread evenly.
11. Slice and Serve: To serve, cut into squares and enjoy the vibrant flavors!
With these straightforward steps, you’ll achieve delightful No Bake Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars that are sure to impress.
