Ingredients
  

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

1/4 cup blueberry preserves (optional, for drizzle)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and a crumbly texture forms.

    Press the Base: Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to create an even crust. Use the back of a measuring cup for a flat surface. Refrigerate while you make the filling.

      Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully combined.

        Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

          Combine Blueberries: In a small bowl, gently toss the blueberries with lemon juice and lemon zest. Fold the blueberry mixture into the cream cheese filling, ensuring even distribution without breaking the berries.

            Assemble the Bars: Pour the blueberry cream cheese filling over the chilled crust, spreading it into an even layer. Smooth the top with a spatula.

              Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the bars to set.

                Serve: Once set, remove the bars from the refrigerator. If desired, drizzle with blueberry preserves for added sweetness and presentation. Cut into squares and enjoy your refreshing Blueberry Bliss Bars!
