LEMON BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Place parchment paper in the bottom of 9X9 pan, extending up over sides and over top. Turn pan, and put in another sheet. This will help you get the cheesecake out perfectly.
• For the Base:.
• In a food processor, combine the graham crackers, sugar and cinnamon, process until you have very small crumbs. Add melted butter and pulse a couple of times to full incorporate the butter. Pour into the lined baking pan and gently pat down. Cook for 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• For the Filling:.
• To the food processsor bowl, add cream cheese, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar. Process for a few seconds until well combined. It should be smooth and kind of glossy. Pour into the cooled base, smooth gently into the corners and then sprinkle with the blueberries (I have used frozen berries with excellent results). Don't stir! Bake for 35 minutes or until the center only slightly jiggles. Chill for 3 hours, then grasp the parchament handles and lift the entire cheesecake out. Cut into 10 squares. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

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.

BLUEBERRY STREUSEL BARS WITH LEMON-CREAM FILLING

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a 9x13" metal baking pan with foil, leaving a 1" overhang on the ends. LIghtly butter the botton and sides of the foil.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, salt and baking powder. Using your fingers, blend butter completely into the flour mixture. Transfer 2 cups of crumb mixture to another bowl and reserve for topping. Blend the egg white into the remaining crumbs and then press the mixture into the bottom of the pan to form a level crust. Tamp it down with the bottom of a measuring cup to even it out. Bake crust until starts to form a dry top, 10-12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the condensed milk, lemon juic, lemon zest, and egg yolk. Let this mixture stand for 5 minutes; it will beginto thicken.
• Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over th hot crust and drop spoonfuls of the lemon mixture over the blueberries. Spread gently with a spatula to distribute a little more evenly, but take care not to crush the blueberries. It's fine if lemon mixture isn't perfectly even. Bake until the lemon mixture just begins to form a shiny skin, 7-8 minutes.
• Sprinkle the reserved topping over the lemon-blueberry layer, pressing the streusel between your fingers into small lumps as you sprinkle. Bake until filling is bubbling at the edges and top is brown, 25-30 minutes.
• Let the bars cool in the pan on a rack until just warm, about an hour. Carefully lift them out of the pan using the foil overhang and transfer to a rack to cool completely. Remove the foil and cut into 24 bars when cool. The bars may be stored at room temperature for a few hours but otherwise should be kept in the refrigerator.
