Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Make the Blueberry Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar. Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently. Allow it to simmer for 5-8 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line an 8" x 8" baking pan with parchment paper. Crush the graham crackers and mix in melted butter until damp sand consistency. Press into the pan and bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then add the eggs, vanilla, lemon juice, and sugar. Mix until smooth and pour over the cooled crust.
  4. Swirl the Blueberry Sauce: Spoon dollops of blueberry sauce over the cheesecake filling and swirl gently using a knife.
  5. Bake the Cheesecake Bars: Bake for 40-50 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Let cool on a wire rack.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars and serving cold.
