Blackberry-Lemon Cheesecake Bars

Preheat oven to 325ºF.

In a medium size bowl, combine flour, sugar and butter with a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Press into an 8-inch square pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a large mixer bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated. Add sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and zest, beat about 2 minutes. Mix in sour cream. Fold in blackberries.

Pour over crust and bake 40-45 minutes or until center is set.

Cool for 30 minutes and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Cut into squares and garnish with blackberries if desired.

Enjoy!
