  • Beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
  • Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until combined.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the center is mostly set with a slight jiggle.
  • Allow cheesecake to cool while preparing the topping.
  • In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, water, and cornstarch.
  • Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
  • Let the blueberry topping cool slightly, then spread evenly over the cheesecake layer.
  • Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully chilled and firm.
  • Slice into bars and garnish with whipped cream, fresh blueberries, or lemon zest before serving.

Notes

Frozen blueberries work perfectly and do not need thawing.Avoid overmixing the cheesecake batter to prevent cracks.Chill overnight for the best texture and flavor.Use a warm knife wiped clean between cuts for neat slices.White chocolate drizzle adds extra sweetness and elegance.
