Blueberry Cream Cheese Bars

A very nice Blueberry Cream Cheese Bar that combines cream cheese taste with blueberries and a crumble topping.  Easy to follow step by step photo instructions. Give it a try today.

Every year I try to do at least one blueberry recipe, but I’m a little late this year since blueberry season is over.

My wife will leave hints about things on her Pinterest page and this time; it was a wonderful looking recipe from Grandbaby Cakes for Blueberry Crumble Bars. It looked great but I like cream cheese with my blueberries plus I can’t keep my hands off things. I combined it with two other recipes and have a very special treat for you.

My Rating
A very nice higher 4. But a 5 rating is ok also.

Notes: I usually like to rave about how fast and easy a recipe is but not quite this time. It wasn’t bad, but there are four pans and the mixer. It all takes a little time.

Preheat oven to 375 conventional, not convection.

Start by coating a nine by nine glass baking dish with butter. Dice 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter. Mix 2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, one teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, one egg and the butter.

Cut the butter into the mixture with either a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly.

Press half of the crumble mixture into the buttered dish. Bake to firm up some for 8 minutes.

While the base is baking, clean and dry 1 pint of blueberries. Fresh preferred but frozen should be fine. Add two teaspoon cornstarch and 1/2 cup sugar. Mix well.

Combine 8 oz of cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, and one egg. Beat with mixer until smooth.

When the crust is done, top with cream cheese mixture, then the blueberries and lastly with the rest of the crumble.

Bake until nicely browned. About 40 minutes.

Cool in a refrigerator for at least 2 hours before cutting.
