No-Bake Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Bars

No-bake blueberry lemon cheesecake bars made ENTIRELY in the fridge with a soft graham cracker crust, a creamy lemon cheesecake filling, and a sweet blueberry sauce on top.

THESE are the dessert that’s going to be in my fridge for approximately the rest of summer 2018, guys.

Remember these no-bake cheesecakes we devoured a few months ago? These are a riff off of those and it’s a freaking amazing thing of beauty.

Yes to lemon cheesecake. Yes to blueberry sauce. YES to completely no-bake. Really, all the boxes are ticked today, guys.

P.S. I’d strongly suggest having company around if you are anywhere near these no-bake lemon blueberry cheesecake bars. Just a casual recommendation from someone who probably doesn’t know any better.

You’re only going to need a legit HANDFUL of ingredients to make these cheesecake bars and BONUS POINTS, you can make all the components the night before. Or whenever that cheesecake craving strikes really.

• Crust. It’s just a simple graham cracker crust. Three ingredients and it just gets pressed directly into the pan and thrown into the freezer.
• Filling. Cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice + zest, whipped cream. Easily mixes up in one bowl and goes straight on top of the crust. CHILL that baby for awhile but don’t forget about it, please.
• Topping. You can make it whenever, but DO NOT skip it. It’s just a simple blueberry sauce but it plays so well with the lemon flavors.

Honestly, it’s these cheesecake bars all the way until pumpkin and apples push and shove their way into the picture. ??
