Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 0.5 cups butter, melted
For the Filling
  • 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.25 cups fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a square 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with melted butter and mix until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish to form your crust.
  3. Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake it for about 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and the cornstarch. Then add the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to the filling mixture. Be careful not to mash them!
  6. Pour the blueberry filling over the pre-baked crust. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed.
  7. Allow the dish to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into bars. You can chill them in the refrigerator for an hour for a refreshing treat.

Notes

Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
