Hello hungry friends! Today’s feature is another recipe of my favorite crumble bars dessert. My Strawberry Cheesecake Crumble Bars is one of the popular recipes here in my blog so I thought of making another version and I chose blueberries this time <3

For this recipe, I added some lemon juice and zest to the cream to give a little lemony feel. Blueberries and lemons are perfect together, agree? You will definitely love the sweet and sour taste of the cream and the aroma as well! While baking, the irresistible smell from blueberries, lemon and cookie dough will scent your kitchen. Heaven scent, heaven sent!

Just like my strawberry crumble, I used blueberry preserves in this recipe.

Preserves again??? WAIT!!! Let me explain…

As much as I wanted to use fresh blueberries, I live in a country wherein blueberries are like gold. A 200g-pack costs Php 450 to 500 (around $10) — enough amount to buy a decent meal for my family. It’s just that I never buy and use expensive ingredients for testing recipes.

And since this recipe is already 100% tried and tested and approved by family and friends, I am willing to spend an extra for blueberries next time. For my birthday maybe? (gift for myself hmmm 😌) It’s my dream to use fresh blueberries for my future recipes. Just spare me this time please? 🙏🏻 If you know where to buy cheap blueberries please let me know by leaving a comment below.👇🏻

If you want to use fresh berries, just toss half of the blueberries into the batter, pour onto a prepared pan then sprinkle the remaining blueberries on top of the lemon cream before baking.

The base and crumble dough is just the same with strawberry crumble recipe. My go-to cookie crumble recipe. I also used it to my Apple Cheesecake Crumble. It really goes well with cheesecakes. I use it as substitute for graham cracker base on special days.

For the cookie crumble dough, blend the cold butter into the flour-sugar mixture until it can hold its shape when pressed. You can use a pastry cutter or fork but I like using my hands so I can feel if there are still large chunks of butter in the mixture and if it’s already well blended.

I hope you enjoy these sweet and tangy blueberry lemon bars. Let me know if you make this recipe.

BONUS: there are no eggs in this recipe, perfect to those allergic to eggs.
