lemon blueberry squares!

lemon blueberry square!
lemon blueberry squares! after picking the fresh blueberries, i had a culinary vision. this is one you'll want to make. here's how:

you’ll need:
1 9 ounce box lemon wafers (365 everyday whole foods)
2T butter, melted
1 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 small can sweetened condensed milk
2-3 lemons, zested & juiced

 
you’ll do:
preheat over to 300℉.

in a food processor, dump wafers in & whiz until crumbs. add melted butter and whiz a few times. it will look like wet sand.

place parchment paper into a 9”x13” glass baking dish. it won’t fit perfectly. leave some overhang on the ends so you will have “handles”.

pour wafer/butter mixture onto parchment paper. use a metal measuring cup to press out the “crust” evenly. don’t forget the corners!

bake for 15 minutes. let cool COMPLETELY.

after crust has cooled:

in a medium mixing bowl, with a hand mixer, beat the room temperature cream cheese until fluffy. add sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice & lemon zest (use a microplane to zest). mix until smooth. pour mixture into crust. cover with plastic wrap & refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours. using “handles” lift out of glass dish. place on cutting board. cut into nice squares. top each square with blueberries. serve. eat. YUM.
