Lemon Blueberry Squares Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Start by making the crust. In a medium bowl, stir together the 2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons white sugar, lemon zest and salt. Cut in the 1/2 cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg and vanilla together; stir into the crumb mixture until a dough forms. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
• Sprinkle blueberries over the crust. Combine the 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg; sprinkle over the blueberries. Make the topping: In a medium bowl, cream together the 5 tablespoons butter and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the flour, so that the mixture is crumbly like streusel. Sprinkle over the blueberry layer.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until browned. Cool and then dust with confectioners' sugar before cutting into bars.

Steps:

• Line bottom and sides of 8-inch square dish with wafers.
• Beat cream cheese in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in milk. Add dry pudding mixes and lemon juice; mix well. Whisk in 2 cups COOL WHIP and berries; spoon into prepared dish.
• Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm. Serve topped with remaining COOL WHIP.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Grease the bottom of a 9 by 9-inch baking pan with butter. Then place parchment paper over the top, pressing down at the corners. In a food processor, process the sugar, cinnamon and graham crackers until you have the texture of bread crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse a couple of times to fully incorporate. Pour into the lined baking pan and gently pat down with the base of a glass. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes until golden. When done set aside to cool.
• Add cream cheese, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar to the food processor and mix until well combined. It should have a smooth consistency. Pour onto the cooled base and then cover with blueberries. They will sink slightly but should still be half exposed -- as the cake bakes they will sink a little more and break down.
• Bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until the center only slightly jiggles. Remove from the oven and cool completely before refrigerating for at least 3 hours. Once set, remove from pan using the parchment lining and slice into 10 rectangular bars. Dust with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine blueberries with sugar, lemon juice and half of the lemon zest. Set aside.
• Mix cake mix with 1 egg, softened butter and the remaining lemon zest. Pat into a buttered and floured 13- x 9-inch baking pan.
• In a mixing bowl with hand-held electric mixer, beat confectioners' sugar with cream cheese and remaining 3 eggs until smooth. Gently stir in blueberry mixture; pour over cake. Bake in a preheated 325° oven for about 45 to 55 minutes, or until browned. Let cool completely; chill and cut into squares.
• Serve with fresh blueberries and a dusting of confectioners' sugar, if desired. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing a 1-inch overhang.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add white chocolate and stir until chocolate is melted and incorporated with the butter. Scrape mixture into a large mixing bowl and whisk in the brown sugar until smooth. Whisk in the lemon juice, zest, and salt until all is combined. Whisk in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract.
• Stir in flour. Using a rubber spatula, fold in blueberries. Scrape batter into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer; it will be a bit thick.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and allow blondies to cool for at least 15 minutes in the pan. When ready to serve, lift the blondies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place on a cutting board.
• To make the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the blondies. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees and line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper so it hangs over the edges on all sides by a few inches. (You may need to use two pieces of parchment.)
• Make the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse to combine the flour, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest and salt. Add butter and pulse until a crumbly dough forms, about 10 seconds. (Or mix dry ingredients in a bowl and use pastry cutter to cut in butter, clumping the mixture together in your hands until it holds together.) Press dough into prepared pan. Bake until light golden, 25 to 35 minutes.
• As crust bakes, make the curd: In a medium pot, whisk together the granulated sugar, lemon juice, egg yolks, whole eggs, cornstarch and fine sea salt until well combined. Place over medium heat and stir with a heatproof rubber spatula (or wooden spoon), making sure to scrape around the sides and edges of the pot, until mixture is simmering and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Bring mixture to a boil and let cook for about 30 seconds, but no longer than 1 minute. Immediately strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Stir in butter, lemon zest and lime zest, and stir until butter melts. Stir in blueberries.
• Pour mixture over crust, then stir to evenly distribute berries. Return to oven, and bake until blueberries begin to burst and curd starts to turn golden around the edges, 33 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator until thoroughly cold before cutting, at least 3 hours. Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar right before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Line 13x9-inch pan with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Microwave butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 to 1-1/2 min. or until melted. Add dry cake mix and 1 egg; beat with mixer until blended. Press 2/3 of the dough onto bottom of prepared pan.
• Beat cream cheese and sugar with mixer until blended. Add remaining egg, zest and juice; mix well. Pour over crust; top with berries. Pinch small pieces of the remaining dough between your fingers; press lightly into cream cheese layer.
• Bake 55 min. to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely. Use foil handles to lift dessert from pan before cutting into bars.

Steps:

• Make crust:
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a buttered 8-inch square glass baking dish with 2 (18- by 6-inch) sheets of foil, overlapping them in opposite directions so that there is overhang on all 4 sides.
• Pulse together flour, cornmeal, confectioners sugar, salt, and butter in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal. Press onto bottom of baking dish and 1 inch up sides. Bake in middle of oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Make filling while crust bakes:
• Whisk together eggs, sugar, flour, and zests. Whisk in juices, milk, and a pinch of salt. Toss blueberries with jam in another bowl.
• Whisk egg mixture and immediately pour into hot crust, then bake until just set, about 17 minutes. Gently spoon berries evenly over top and bake 2 minutes more. Transfer baking dish to a rack and cool.
• Chill, covered, overnight (8 hours). Use foil to lift dessert out of dish, then cut into squares.

Steps:

• Butter a 7 x 11-inch baking pan.
• Line bottom with a sheet of parchment paper; set aside.
• In a food processor, put the flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; PULSE to blend for 20 seconds.
• Add in the COLD butter chunks, and PULSE to cut in the butter into the dry ingredients until you have a crumbly mass (not dry, but not sticking together).
• Toss together the berry mixture with the sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice.
• Spread/pat (LIGHTLY) half of the oatmeal mixture on the bottom of the pan.
• Top/spread with the blueberry/cornstarch mixture as evenly as you can.
• Top/sprinkle with the remaining oatmeal mixture, and press down slightly.
• Chill the pan for 30 minutes (THIS IS IMPORTANT! must be chilled).
• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the fruit starts to bubble.
• Cool pan very well before cutting, or refrigerate for 2-3 hours before cutting into squares.
• Delicious!
