<\/p>\nThese skinny lemon blueberry cheesecake bars are lightened up using greek yogurt and less sugar. Perfect for when you’re craving something sweet, but want something a little lighter!<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One of the most popular recipes on my blog are these lemon raspberry cheesecake squares<\/a> and for good reason! They’re insanely delicious and one of my favorite recipes as well. I think it’s safe to say that a lot of people love the combination of lemons and berries.<\/p>\n I’ve had a lemon blueberry cheesecake recipe on my mind for a while now, but I wanted to change it up a little. So, instead of the usual cheesecake recipe I decided to try to lighten it up a bit. You know, because summer is just around the corner and lighter desserts are always welcome in my home.<\/p>\n I have experience with making cheesecakes, but never a lighter version. After doing a quick search, I came across these Skinny Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars<\/a> from Sally’s Baking Addiction and changed it up a little.<\/p>\n Now, these lemon blueberry bars aren’t exactly health food, but they are much better for you than your average cheesecake recipe. Although these bars are lighter, they are still incredibly rich and they taste delicious. <\/p>\n These would be great to bring as a lighter dessert option to a party. I can guarantee that no one will know they’re lighter either!<\/p>\n This healthy lemon dessert comes together with minimal ingredients. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: <\/p>\n For this healthy summer dessert, you’ll first have to make the graham cracker crust. It’s a simple mixture of graham cracker crumbs and melted coconut oil that gets pressed into the bottom of an 8-inch baking dish. <\/p>\n Bake the crust for about 8 minutes, or until it’s just set. Meanwhile, make the filling. <\/p>\n For the cheesecake filling, beat together the cream cheese and yogurt until smooth. Add the sugar, followed by the lemon juice and zest, vanilla, flour, and egg whites. Gently fold the blueberries in last. <\/p>\n Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust and return the bars to the oven. Once baked, let the bars cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate them for at least three hours before serving. <\/p>\n Of course! Swap out the blueberries with any fresh berry you’d like. If using strawberries, dice them finely before mixing into the batter. <\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Skinny-Lemon-Blueberry-Cheesecake-Bars-2.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&ssl=1\")
