Elegant White Chocolate Blueberry Bars

Ingredients:

Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate, melted
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or thawed frozen blueberries)

Topping:

  • 1/4 cup white chocolate, melted (for drizzling)
  • Extra blueberries for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crust
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
    • In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
    • Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden, then set aside to cool.
  2. Make the Filling
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and beat until well combined.
    • Slowly mix in the melted white chocolate until fully incorporated, then gently fold in the blueberries.
  3. Assemble and Bake
    • Pour the filling over the crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles.
    • Let the bars cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  4. Add the Topping
    • Once chilled, drizzle the top with melted white chocolate and garnish with extra blueberries.
  5. Serve
    • Cut into squares and serve chilled.

Tips:

  • For a finer drizzle, transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag with a small tip.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
