Ingredients

Crust

Filling

  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, room temperature
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (57.5 g) sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 3 cups (444 g) fresh blueberries*

Crumble Topping

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 1½ tablespoons whole milk, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, blend the flour, confectioners' sugar, and butter. You can use a food processor or pastry cutter, but I prefer my hands. You want the butter to be no bigger than a pea size and the ingredients to be well incorporated.
  • Press the crust mixture into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges just barely start to golden.
  • Remove the crust from the oven and set it aside to cool slightly while you prepare the filling.

Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese and sugar and beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes).
  • Add the egg, sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice and continue mixing until well blended.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • Pour the blueberry mixture over the partially cooled crust.

Crumble Topping

  • In a medium bowl combine flour sugar, butter, and lemon zest. Mix together and crumble over the top of the blueberry filling.
  • Bake 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is just set and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the bars cool on counter for 30 minutes. Then, place them in the refrigerator until chilled (about 2 hours).
  • When ready to serve, make the vanilla glaze.

Lemon Glaze

  • To a medium bowl, add confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine until fully incorporated. If the glaze is not thin enough, add more milk as needed, one teaspoon at a time.
  • Drizzle over cooled bars.

Notes

*You can use frozen blueberries in these bars. Just be sure to let them thaw before folding them into the batter.
