Main Ingredients: Cream Cheese, Blueberries, Lemon Juice

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your cream cheese is softened before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will ensure a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen blueberries can be used in a pinch, but they may release too much moisture and make the cheesecake bars soggy.
- Allow the cheesecake bars to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help them set up properly and make them easier to cut.
