Decadent Blueberry Cheesecake Bars with Brown Sugar Pecan Topping

Ingredients:

    • Graham Cracker Crust:
    • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
    • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • Cheesecake Layer:
    • 16 ounces (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
    • 2 large eggs, room temperature
    • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • Blueberry Sauce:
    • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries, divided
    • ⅛ cup granulated sugar
    • 2 tablespoons water
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • Brown Sugar Pecan Topping:
    • ¾ cup brown sugar
    • ¾ cup pecans, chopped
    • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    • ¼ cup butter, melted

Directions:


    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 11x7 baking dish by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
    • Graham Cracker Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter. Mix until well combined and mixture is a sand-like texture that clumps together. Pour crust mixture into the prepared baking dish and press down with the back of a measuring cup. Bake the crust in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
    • Cheesecake Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add in eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until completely mixed and smooth. Pour cream cheese mixture on top of baked crust and spread out evenly.
    • Blueberry Sauce: In a medium size saucepan, add 1 cup blueberries, sugar, water, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir well. Cook over low-medium heat until blueberries start to burst and mixture becomes a sauce. Remove from heat, add in ¼ cup of remaining blueberries and mix. Spoon sauce on top of cream cheese mixture, and swirl sauce with mixture using a toothpick or knife. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of blueberries on top.
    • Brown Sugar Pecan Topping: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, chopped pecans, and melted butter. Spoon topping over cheesecake, evenly spreading over the entire thing.
    • Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown
