Any Home Bakers Here?

Here's a new recipe I made for the Red Hat Ladies luncheon last week:

Blueberry Cheesecake Bars
Crust:
1 1/4 unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 Cup sugar
1 heaping Tab lemon zest
2 Cups AP flour
1/4 tsp salt

Blueberry Filling:
2 Cups fresh blueberries
2 Tab brown sugar
2 Tab lemon zest
2 Tab lemon juice

Cream Cheese Layer:
2 of the 8-oz packages cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 Cup sugar
2 tsp lemon zest
1 Tab vanilla
2 eggs

1. Preheat oven to 350* and line a 9x13" pan with parchment paper, also spray with no-stick just to be sure nothing sticks.
2. Crust: Beat the butter, sugar and zest until creamy. Add the flour and salt and beat until combined. Press dough into bottom of prepared pan, bake 15 minutes.
3. Filling: Combine blueberries with brown sugar, zest and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until berries are just soft (5-10 minutes). Set aside to cool.
4. Cream Cheese Layer: Beat cream cheese, sugar, zest and vanilla together. Add in the eggs, one at a time, until combined. Scrape cream cheese mixture onto warm crust and smooth. Dollop blueberry mixture randomly over top of cream cheese layer. Swirl with a knife tip.
5. Bake until filling is set, about 30-40 minutes. Cool and refrigerate for a couple hours until chilled. Slice & serve.

Thanks! I'm going to make this for 4th of July. :drool
