How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Crumble Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Spray 9×13 baking pan
with cooking spray, or line with foil and spray foil to easily take bars out of pan to cut squares.
- In large bowl, combine butter, one egg and cake mix. Mixture will be very stiff, so you might opt to use your hands (which I did.)
- Reserve 1 cup of cake mixture for crumble topping, set aside.
- Press the remaining cake mixture in the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- While crust is baking, in a mixing bowl using mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and remaining egg until smooth.
- Spread cream cheese mixture over top the partially baked crust.
- Evenly arrange the blueberries over the cream cheese mixture and the sprinkle with remaining crumbles.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until center is set and crumbles on top turn golden brown.
- Cool completely on wire rack.
- Chill approximately 30 minutes before serving.
- For a quick glaze, ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 – 2 tablespoons milk, mix with a fork to get a thick pourable consistency. Tip: I put this mixture in microwave for 10-15 seconds and then pour it on bars. Glaze with firm up as it cools.
