Recipe of the Month

Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

Ingredients:
Crust
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
3 Tbsp. unsweetened applesauce

Topping
1 1/2 cups nonfat plain Greek yogurt
3.5 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 cups blueberries
1 Tbsp. lemon zest (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

1. Wash hands with warm water and soap, scrubbing for at least 20 seconds.
2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and applesauce together in a medium bowl until combined. Evenly press crust into an 8x8 baking pan. Firmly press down on the crust with a dry measuring cup to make it more compact.
3. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
4. Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
5. In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, softened cream cheese, corn starch, salt, sugar and lemon juice. Fold in the blueberries and lemon zest (if using).
6. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the topping mixture over the cooled crust and spread to make an even layer.
7. Bake for 35 minutes or until it does not jiggle. Remove from oven and let cool completely. For best results, refrigerate 1 hour before cutting.
8. Store in the refrigerator.
