Creating Blueberry Cream Cheese Bars is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter. Mix until crumbly, then add vanilla extract.
3. Press the Crust: Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
4. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract and lemon juice.
5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the cream cheese mixture to distribute evenly.
6. Layer the Filling: Pour the cream cheese filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Return to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
8. Cool: Remove from oven and allow to cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Transfer to the refrigerator for an additional hour for better slicing.
9. Slice Bars: Once fully chilled, cut into squares or rectangles as preferred.
10. Serve or Store: Enjoy your delicious Blueberry Cream Cheese Bars, or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
