Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

Blueberries and lemon are a classic combination that bring out the best flavors of spring. You cannot go wrong with cheesecake. I found the cheesecake bars to be more simple than a traditional cheesecake. I was looking for something light and fruity for a Mother's Day lunch dessert. If you follow my blog you know that I am not a seasoned baker, so I did not want to take too much of a risk. I have come to the conclusion that I usually fail at sweet items that require flour.

The bars were smooth, slightly sweet and tart. I followed the recipe as written and made a few adjustments. I liked the thickness of the bars since cheesecake can be so rich.

Happy Mothers Day to all!!!



Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars
Tyler Florence, Food Network Website
Yields 10 bars

For the base:
Butter, for greasing
2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
9 graham crackers
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted (used 2 tablespoons unsalted butter)


For the filling:
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 eggs (used 1 extra large egg)
2 lemons, zested and juiced (combined lemon zest with sugar)
About 1/2 cup sugar, eyeball it
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Powdered sugar, for dusting (omitted)



Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
For the base:
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.

For the filling:
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.

So in lieu of strolling at a continuous pace for say an hour, you'll modify things up by alternating brief bursts of extreme walking for say a minute followed by a recovery period with slower walking immediately after each extreme time period. Just maintain alternating for twenty minutes to start out and add time as you come to be extra fit. You are able to use interval education with all phases of thegreen coffee bean extract to enhance your final results.

Also after you do any kind of physical exercise it really is strongly encouraged which you drink plenty of water prior to during and after to keep one's body appropriately hydrated.
