The ingredients for Blueberry Cheesecake Bars are:

6 tbs. margarine (or butter), melted
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 pkg. (8oz. each) neufchatel, softened (1/3 less fat than using regular cream cheese)
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 jar (10oz) blueberry jam or preserves
1 cup blueberries

Here is how you make Blueberry Cheesecake Bars:

Preheat over to 350. -Mix the melted margarine and graham crumbs in 13x9-inch baking pan. Press firmly onto bottom of pan. Refrigerate until ready to use. (this will help later when spreading the next layer.)-Beat cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer on medium until creamy. Add sugar, eggs and vanilla; beat until well blended. Set aside.-Stir jam in jar until softened. Spread evenly onto crust. Sprinkle bluberries onto jam layer. Top evenly with cream cheese mixture.-Bake 30-40 min. (took closer to 40 on my oven) or until slightly puffed. Cool completely in pan.-Cut into 24 bars. Store any leftovers in a tightly covered container in the fridge up to 3 days.-** Next time I will experiment with a lighter margarine and only 1 egg plus egg beaters for the second egg.Number of Servings: 24Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MAINEROCKS.
