Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 8-ounce cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Put the sugar, cornstarch, orange juice, and blueberries in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until it is thickened and has come to a bubble. Take off the heat and set aside.
  • Put the flour, powdered sugar, and butter in the mixer and mix until it comes together.
  • It will be crumbly.
  • Press into a foil or parchment lined 9×13 pan. Bake for 20 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven.
  • While the crust is cooking, cream together the cream cheese and sugar. Add the flour. Add the eggs, vanilla, and orange zest.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the hot crust.
  • Spoon the reserved blueberries over the cream cheese mixture.
  • Take a knife and swirl the blueberries throughout the cream cheese.
  • Put the pan back into the 350 degree oven and bake for another 20 minutes or until the bars are set.
  • Let the pan cool on a rack for an hour. Then put the bars back into the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar.
