Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake the crust for about 10 minutes until golden. Let it cool.
In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and mix well. Stir in sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Fold in blueberries carefully.
Pour filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.
Lift out using parchment paper, slice into squares, and serve with optional powdered sugar dusting.
