Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

These Blueberry Cheesecake Bars are layered with a buttery vanilla wafer crust, creamy cheesecake filling, fresh blueberries, and a golden oat crumb topping. They have all the flavor of blueberry cheesecake, but they’re easier to slice, serve, and share.

I love these for spring and summer because they feel fresh but still rich enough to count as a real dessert. The blueberries bake into the cheesecake layer, the crumb topping adds texture, and the chilled bars cut into the prettiest little squares.

Why You’ll Love Blueberry Cheesecake Bars:

• These bars are easier than making a full cheesecake but still have that creamy cheesecake texture. The vanilla wafer crust gives them a sweet, cookie-style base, while the fresh blueberries add a bright summer flavor.
• The oat crumb topping makes them feel part cheesecake bar, part blueberry crumble, which is exactly why they work so well for brunch, cookouts, showers, holidays, and summer parties.

Ingredients You Need To Make Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

• Vanilla wafer cookie crumbs: These create the crust and are also used in the crumb topping.
• Butter: Melted butter holds the crust together and adds richness to the topping.
• Cream cheese: Room temperature cream cheese makes the filling smooth and creamy.
• Powdered sugar: Sweetens the cheesecake layer without making it grainy.
• Vanilla extract: Adds warm flavor to the cheesecake filling.
• Eggs: Help the cheesecake layer set as it bakes.
• Fresh blueberries: Add juicy blueberry flavor throughout the bars.
• Oats: Give the crumb topping texture.
• Sugar: Sweetens the crumb topping.
• Kosher salt: Balances the sweetness.

How To Make Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

Prepare the Baking Dish

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. This makes it easier to lift the bars out once they have chilled.

Make the Crust

• Mix the vanilla wafer crumbs and melted butter together until the crumbs are evenly coated.
• Reserve 1 cup of the crumbs for the topping.
• Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
• Bake the crust for 10 minutes.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

• In a mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
• Pour the cheesecake filling over the baked crust and spread it evenly.
• Top the cream cheese layer with the fresh blueberries.

Add the Crumb Topping

• Mix the reserved vanilla wafer crumbs, oats, sugar, salt, and melted butter together.
• Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the blueberries.

Bake and Chill

• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours before slicing.

Tips for the Best Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

• Use room temperature cream cheese so the filling mixes smoothly.
• Line the pan with parchment paper so the bars are easier to remove.
• Let the bars chill fully before slicing. This helps the cheesecake layer set and keeps the squares clean.
• Fresh blueberries work best because they release less liquid than frozen berries.
• Use a sharp knife and wipe it between cuts for cleaner slices.

How To Store Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

• Store Blueberry Cheesecake Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Because these bars have a cheesecake filling, they should stay chilled until ready to serve.

Can You Freeze Blueberry Cheesecake Bars?

• Yes, these bars can be frozen.
• Slice the chilled bars first, then place them in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between the layers. Freeze for up to 2 months.
• Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
