Prepare the crust
- Preheat the oven to 350?F (175?C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking pan to form an even layer.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
Make the filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in lemon juice and lemon zest.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
Bake the cheesecake bars
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggles.
- Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.

Notes
For best results, use fresh blueberries and allow the cheesecake bars to chill overnight for optimal flavor and texture.
