Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars
Bright lemon cheesecake, jammy blueberry swirl. 11g protein.
Creamy, properly lemony cheesecake bars on a graham crust, with a jammy blueberry swirl that bakes into purple ribbons. Blended cottage cheese, Greek yogurt and a split of light and fat-free cream cheese keep them rich but light enough to want a second one. A gentle oven cool-down is the difference between a smooth top and a cracked one.
