Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar until well combined.
  3. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan to form a crust.
  4. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla until silky smooth.
  5. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing until everything is just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon juice.
  7. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and smooth out the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly wobbly.
  9. Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy!
