Creating delicious Blueberry Cream Cheese Bars is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for incredible results:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Crust: In a bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, melted butter, and salt until crumbly. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. Bake Crust: Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
4. Make Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Spread Filling: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the baked crust, spreading it evenly.
6. Add Blueberries: Sprinkle the fresh blueberries on top of the cream cheese layer. Gently press them into the filling.
7. Bake Again: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25–30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly browned around the edges.
8. Cool Down: Remove from the oven and let it cool in the dish for about 30 minutes.
9. Slice Bars: Once cooled, cut the bars into squares and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
10. Chill (Optional): For enhanced flavor, you can refrigerate the bars for a couple of hours before serving.
