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

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
2. Make the Crust:
– In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
– Add in the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
– Mix until a dough forms.
3. Spread the Dough: Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking pan evenly. Use your fingers or the back of a measuring cup to smooth it out.
4. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden.
5. Prepare the Filling:
– In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sugar until smooth.
– Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
6. Add Blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to break them apart.
7. Assemble the Bars: Pour the cream cheese and blueberry mixture over the pre-baked crust, spreading it out evenly.
8. Bake Again: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes.
10. Refrigerate: For the best texture, refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares.

These steps will guide you through an effortless baking experience, resulting in incredible Blueberry Cream Cheese Bars that everyone will love.
