Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugars, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Cut in cold butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Set aside 1 cup of this mixture for the topping. Press the remaining mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes; let cool slightly.
  3. In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until thick and glossy (about 5 minutes). Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, vanilla, lemon juice, and zest until smooth and creamy.
  5. Spread cheesecake filling evenly over the baked crust. Spoon blueberry mixture on top and gently swirl with a knife for a marbled effect. Sprinkle the reserved crumble evenly over the top.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the crumble is golden and the center is set. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

  • Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer — no need to thaw.
  • For extra crunch, mix ¼ cup chopped pecans into the topping.
  • Add a drizzle of lemon glaze for a bakery-style finish.
