I went looking for something to bake using Blueberries and found a very appealing picture of a Blueberry Crumb Bar on The Homebased Mom's blog.
Adapted the recipe slightly to use up a package of Philly cream cheese.
Blueberry Cream Cheese Crumb Bars
==================================
Adapted from:
Http://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/blueberry-crumb-bars/
My changes in red
1 cup white sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour1 cup cold butter (2 sticks)
1 egg
1/4 tsp. salt
Zest and juice of one lemon
4 C. fresh blueberries
1/2 cup white sugar
4 tsp. cornstarch
4 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
Vanilla
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Grease a 9×13 inch pan.
In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup sugar, 3 cups flour, and baking powder. Mix in salt and lemon zest. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the butter and egg. Dough will be crumbly. Pat half of dough into the prepared pan.
In another bowl, stir together the sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Gently mix in the blueberries. Sprinkle the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust.
Cream the cream cheese with sugar. Add beaten egg and vanilla. Stir well to combine. Drop by tablespoon over the blueberries.
Crumble remaining dough over the top.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until top is slightly brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares.









These look summery and delicious!
