Blueberry Lemon Vegan Cheesecake Bars

INGREDIENTS:

  • 9 88 Acres Blueberry Lemon Seed and Oat Bars

  • 1 lemon; juiced 

  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar 

  • 13.5 oz can coconut cream 

  • 2 cups vegan cream cheese; room temperature

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the blueberry swirl: 

  • 1 cup blueberries 

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In a saucepan, add the blueberries and the sugar. On medium low heat, cook the mixture, stirring occasionally. Burst the blueberries with a wooden spoon. Cook the blueberries on low for about 15 minutes until the mixture has thickened. Pour into a bowl and cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour.  

  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, add the cream cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat for about 2 minutes on medium speed until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and mix to combine. 

  3. In a separate bowl of an electric mixer, beat the coconut cream for about 2 minutes until foamy. Fold the cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Fold in circular motions to maintain the airy qualities of the cream. 

  4. Line a 9” by 11” baking dish with the seed and oat bars and press the sides of the bars into each other to form one seamless crust. 

  5. Pour the cream cheese filling onto the bars. Swirl the blueberry filling into the cream cheese mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight. 

  6. Remove the dish from the freezer and let thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Cut the sheet into 2” by 4” rectangles bars and serve.
