Blueberry and Lemon Cheesecake Bars

  • 1 cup of chopped blueberries
  • ¼ cup of orange juice
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 8 oz cream cheese - softened
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juiceBlueberry Cheesecake
  • 1 tsp greated lemon peel

Crumble Mixture

  • 1 ¼ cups of floor
  • ¾ cup rolled oats
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup chopped nuts
  • ½ cup butter or marg

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease the bottom of a 13 by 9 pan.

In a small pot combine the blueberries, the orange juice, 2 tablespoons of sugar and the cornstarch; stir until all have dissolved and mixed well together. Cook over a medium heat stirring until think and bubbly, then set aside to cool a little.

In a large bowl add the flour, oats, brown sugar, and the nuts - mix this well together. Cut in the butter or margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Keep as side one cup of the crumble mixture for the topping.

Use the remaining crumble mixture as the base for the recipe. Press this firmly into the bottom of your baking tray and cook for ten minutes.

In a bowl mix the cream cheese, the eggs, ½ cup sugar, lemon juice, and lemon peel - use a blender on a medium speed until all is blended together well - then pour mixture on top of the baked base.

Add the blueberry mixture on to the top of the previous mixture. Some people like it blended together a little - if you do blend with a knife a little - if you are cooking for me I don’t, I like the separate tastes in my food.

Sprinkle the 1 cup of crumble mixture over the top of the filling then bake in the oven for 20 -25 minutes taking out when the top has browned.

Blueberry Cheesecake

A more simple and traditional cheesecake. You can use either the base recipe from above or buy a readymade cheesecake crust.

  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 24 oz cream cheese
  • 1 pint sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup of sugar
  • 2 cups of fresh blueberries

Cream the 1 ½ cups of sugar and the cream cheese together - have the cheese at room temperature and it will mix easier. Add the eggs one at a time beating in well after each addition. Add the mixture to the top of the crust and bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.

Let the above cool for 15 - 20 minutes before adding anything to the top of it.

While it is cooling mix the sour cream, the vanilla and the rest of the sugar together in a large bowl. Fold in the blueberries and then pour the whole mixture on the top of cheesecake mix and bake for a further ten minutes at 450 degrees.
