Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup sour cream

2 cups frozen blueberries, slightly thawed

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Zest from 1 lemon

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir the mixture until the crumbs are fully coated and have a texture similar to damp sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to create a firm crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, continuing to mix until well combined. Add in the vanilla extract, sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Beat until the mixture is fully blended and velvety smooth.

      Add the Blueberries: Carefully fold in the slightly thawed frozen blueberries using a rubber spatula. Be gentle to ensure the blueberries are evenly incorporated without breaking them.

        Assemble the Squares: Pour the blueberry cheesecake filling over the prepared chilled crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface on top.

          Freeze: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it has completely solidified.

            Serve: Once frozen, remove the cheesecake from the baking dish. If you have lined the dish with parchment paper, lift it out by the edges. Cut into squares using a sharp knife. For cleaner cuts, wipe the knife with a paper towel between each slice.

              Garnish and Enjoy: For an extra touch, serve the squares with a drizzle of blueberry sauce or a dollop of whipped cream on top. Enjoy your refreshing frozen cheesecake squares!
