Tips For Making Blueberry Cheesecake Bars
I usually have a box of graham cracker crumbs in my pantry because it’s so much easier than crushing whole graham crackers. I’m always looking for shortcuts to save time in the kitchen.
I use Smucker’s Blueberry Preserves in this recipe but any brand should work just fine. Before spreading on the graham cracker crust, I empty the preserves into a bowl and stir to soften it up a little. Then, drop dollops of preserves evenly over the graham cracker crust.
Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before blending with the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. It only takes about an hour for cream cheese to soften to room temperature. Never leave the cream cheese out over two hours before using.
I like to make these bars the night before I plan on serving them.
