Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (divided)
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 10 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (divided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line an 8"x8" baking pan with foil.
  2. In a large bowl, mix melted butter with ½ cup sugar, salt, and lemon zest until well combined. Gradually fold in 2 cups flour until a soft dough forms.

  4. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with remaining sugar, eggs (one at a time), vanilla extract, yogurt or sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and additional flour until smooth.
  5. Gently fold in blueberries and pour over the baked crust.
