Ingredients
Method
- Place graham crackers in the food processor and pulse into fine crumbs.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.
- Line 8×8 pan with parchment paper. Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan. Chill in the refrigerator.
- In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese, Cool Whip, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread into an even layer over the graham cracker crust. Chill for about 5 minutes.
- Spoon blueberry pie filling over the cream cheese layer. Gently spread out the blueberries to cover the entire pan.
- Chill for at least 4 hours. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
To crush the graham crackers, you can either put them in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin or pulse them in a food processor until they are fine crumbs.
Make sure that you get the cream cheese up to room temperature and softened before you make the bars. Otherwise, if the cheese is still cold and hard, it will go lumpy and not make that lovely creamy fluffy texture that is classic cheesecake.
Don’t skip the chilling step! The time is needed for your cheesecake to firm up and make it easier to cut.
