Blueberry Cheesecake Squares

By Kate Morgan Jackson

Jump to Recipe

There’s cheesecake, and then there are blueberry cheesecake squares. Liven up your cheesecake with blueberry love with this easy recipe.

Now this is one of those recipes that has a backstory, so hunker down. A few weeks ago, we celebrated my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. We had a wedding cake and great music, and many many friends and family, and it didn’t rain. Thank you, Lord.

50th anniversary couple

They had a wonderful time, and then they went off to Maine on a little 50th anniversary honeymoon trip. (Aren’t they adorable??)

And while they were there, they visited one of my favorite, favorite makers of all things delicious, the amazing Stonewall Kitchen. And they brought me back some delectable Stonewall Kitchen goodies. Including this…

Stonewall Kitchen strawberry syrup

I have big plans for this that involve caramelized french toast and cinnamon and berries. Stay tuned for that one. They also brought me this…

Stonewall Kitchen Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel Sauce

I don’t even know what to say. I am seriously considering just hiding somewhere and eating it straight out of the jar with a spoon.Last but not least, this was in the Stonewall Kitchen bag..

Stonewall Kitchen Wild Maine Blueberry Jam

Along with a recipe card for Blueberry Cheesecake Bars. (Talk about the gift that keeps on giving!) Anyway, this scrumptious recipe calls for making a super-easy shortbread cookie crust.

On top of that crust goes a classic cheesecake batter…and then comes the fun part. You take that whole jar of wild blueberry jam (and when you open it up you will see there are tons of teeny tiny whole little baby blueberries in the jam. Deep breaths.) and drop it in spoonfuls on top of the cheesecake batter.

Then take a knife and swirl, swirl, swirl the jam through the batter.

Bake. Cool, counting the minutes. Cut into squares. Try not to eat all of them at once. And if you have the self-discipline to put them in the fridge to chill down for a while — well, the only better than a blueberry cheesecake square is a cold blueberry cheesecake square.

Description

There’s cheesecake, and then there are blueberry cheesecake squares. Liven up your cheesecake with blueberry love with this easy recipe.


Ingredients

Cookie Crust:

  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ice water

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 ounces (2 packages) softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup blueberry jam. I highly recommend Stonewall Kitchen Wild Maine Blueberry Jam!

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9X13 inch pan with cooking spray.
  2. Place flour, sugar and salt in food processor and pulse until combined.
  3. Add butter and process until the dough begins to form a ball, adding ice water if necessary.
  4. Press dough evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake until crust is lightly golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes.
  5. While the crust is cooking make the filling by mixing  cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until well blended.
  6. Add eggs and mix just until eggs are mixed in.
  7. After crust cools for 30 minutes, pour cheesecake filling evenly over the crust.
  8. Spoon jam in dollops on top of filling and then swirl with a knife to combine.
  9. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until center is set. Cool in pan and then cut in squares.

    And congrats to your parents…that's so sweet. My grandparents had there 50 years last year and it's just so sweet seeing couples celebrate the big ones and still being totally in love =)

    So I was eating my breakfast while reading this, and I kid you not, I actually stopped mid-chew when I saw that Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel sauce. I'm gonna have to get me some of that.

    I'm also excited to try the blueberry cheesecake bars, since I was unhappy with the last batch I made using a different recipe.

    Hooray for blueberries!

    Total yum to your bars. I'm mad about berries in anything!

    On the savory side, have you tried Stonewall Kitchen's Roasted Onion and Garlic Jam? The BEST! I'm fortunate to live on the NH Seacoast, so I can pop into the stores in Portsmouth and York, ME to taste all the goodies. Added bonus: no sales tax in NH!

    That dark chocolate sauce sounds delicious – have you tried it? Might be a little over-indulgent but I feel like it would be delicious on those cheesecake squares!

    These are delicious! I made these a few days ago. I accidentily added twice as much confectioners sugar to the dough, despite that they still tasted amazing! Unfortunately I did not have any of this fabulous blueberry jam on hand, so I settled for a store brand. I am making it again today, with the correct amount of sugar, and this time I am going to throw in a few fresh blueberries. Thank you so much for this recipe! This is great for someone who cannot handle very much cheesecake!

    I’m going to make these this week as a trial and see if I’m good enough to make them for a party this weekend! This will be my FIRST TIME making cheesecake. My question is, are these supposed to be served cold? If I were to put them in the fridge after cool down and serve as a cold dessert would it be okay?

      That would totally be okay! One of the best things about cheesecake is that you can make it ahead and serve it either room temperature or cold. Have a great party!

    Can this be put in a 8×8 pan to be made thicker? Will it still cook?

      Hi Julia! I think it will be too thick to cook correctly, as the recipe is for a pan that is pretty much double that size. You could either cut the recipe in half ingredients-wise, or you could make two 8×8 pans of the original amounts. Hope this helps! :)
