Ingredients | Blueberry Cream Cheese Bars Recipe

½ cup butter

1 package (2-layer size) yellow cake mix

2 eggs, divided

2 (8 ounce) packages PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

½ cup sugar

1 tablespoon lemon zest

3 tablespoons lemon juice

2 ½ cups fresh blueberries

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Microwave butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 to 1-1/2 min. or until melted. Add dry cake mix and 1 egg; beat with mixer until blended. Press 2/3 of the dough onto bottom of prepared pan.

Beat cream cheese and sugar with mixer until blended. Add remaining egg, zest and juice; mix well. Pour over crust; top with berries. Pinch small pieces of the remaining dough between your fingers; press lightly into cream cheese layer.

Bake 55 min. to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely. Use foil handles to lift dessert from pan before cutting into bars.

Substitute: Prepare using PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese.

Note: For best results, refrigerate the cooled dessert before cutting into bars. Keep bars refrigerated.

How to Soften Cream Cheese: Place completely unwrapped package of cream cheese in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 10 sec. or just until softened. Add 15 sec. for each additional package of cream cheese.
