BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE SQUARES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a food processor or zipped top bag (using a rolling pin), crush graham crackers until very fine. You will need to do in batches. In a large bowl, combine graham crackers with melted butter. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray and press half of the graham cracker into the bottom of the form, forming the crust. Bake for 15 minutes and let cool completely.
• In a medium sized saucepan, over medium heat, cook together blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, water, cornstarch and lemon zest, stirring constantly, until thickened. Set aside and let cool completely.
• In another bowl, beat together cream cheese and the rest of the sugar until fluffy and sugar is completely dissolved. With a rubber spatula, slowly fold in Cool Whip.
• Assemble dessert by placing half the cream cheese mixture inside the cooled crust. Spread slowly and evenly until crust is completely covered. Continue with cooled blueberry mixture over the cream cheese layer and top with remaining cream cheese mixture and then remaining graham cracker crumb mixture. Press crumbs softly into the cream cheese mixture.
• Let sit overnight in the refrigerator before slicing into squares. Serve cold.

LEMON BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• 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 texture of bread crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse a couple of times to fully incorporate. Pour into the lined baking pan and gently pat down with the base of a glass. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes until golden. When done set aside to cool.
• Add cream cheese, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar to the food processor and mix until well combined. It should have a smooth consistency. Pour onto the cooled base and then cover with blueberries. They will sink slightly but should still be half exposed -- as the cake bakes they will sink a little more and break down.
• Bake in the oven for 35 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. Dust with powdered sugar.
