Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

Description: Easy summer dessert from Kraft. I actually made these as blackberry, rather than blueberry, and substituted a 21-ounce can of blackberry pie filling I had on hand for the jam and the blueberries.

Ingredients:

• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 (8 ounce) jar blueberry jam (or preserves)
• 1 cup blueberries

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F Combine butter and graham cracker crumbs and press firmly and evenly onto bottom of 9 X 13-inch baking pan.
2. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, eggs and vanila, beating until well blended. Set aside.
3. Stir jam until softened and spread evenly over crust; sprinkle with blueberries. Top with cream cheese mixture.
4. Bake 30 minutes or until slightly puffed. Cool completely in pan.
5. Refrigerate leftover bars for up to 3 days.
