When I first baked these blueberry lemon cheesecake bars, I wasn’t trying to be fancy. I just wanted a sweet bite that wouldn’t make me feel like I’d eaten half the sugar in the county. Turns out, I stumbled onto something that feels like summer and comfort food rolled together. The buttery almond crust gives that toasty crunch, while the creamy filling hits you with lemon’s tang. Then those blueberries? They burst like little fireworks in your mouth. This mix of flavors somehow makes you feel like you’re doing something good for yourself while treating your sweet tooth. I’ve made them for family, and even the ones who roll their eyes at the word 'keto' come back for seconds. That’s when you know you’ve found a keeper. If you’re looking through blueberry cheesecake recipes or maybe just craving a lemon cheesecake recipe that isn’t heavy, this one checks both boxes. It’s an easy cheesecake recipe—seriously, even if you think cheesecake easy recipe sounds like an oxymoron, try it. It’s one of those lemon blueberry dessert recipes that belongs in the low carb keto hall of fame.
