Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for topping)
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl, then press into a lined baking pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to form the crust.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread over the cooled crust.
  3. Gently fold fresh blueberries into the cream cheese layer or spread them on top, mashing some if desired.

  • Chill the bars for at least 2 hours before serving to set layers and enhance flavor.
  • For an extra touch, drizzle with white chocolate or lemon glaze.
