    Wonderful cream cheese bars with a hint of lemon. A must try.

    Ingredients

    • For the Base:
    • Butter, for greasing
    • 2 tablespoon sugar
    • 1/8 tablespoon ground cinnamon
    • 9 graham crackers
    • 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
    • For the Filling:
    • 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (I used fat free)
    • 2 eggs
    • 2 lemons, zested and juiced
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

    Directions

    1. For the Base:
    2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
    3. Grease the bottom of a 9 by 9-inch baking pan with butter. Then place parchment paper over the top, pressing down at the corners. In a food processor, process the sugar, cinnamon and graham crackers until you have the consistency of breadcrumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse a couple of times to fully incorporate. Pour into the lined baking pan and firmly pat down with the bottom of a glass. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until set.
    4. For the filling:
    5. Add cream cheese, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar to the food processor and pulse until well combined. It should have a smooth consistency. Pour onto the cooked graham cracker base and then sprinkle with blueberries. They will sink slightly but should be half exposed.
    6. Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the center only slightly jiggles. Remove from the oven and cool completely before Refrigerating for at least 3 hours. Once set, remove from pan using the parchment lining and slice into 10 rectangular bars.
