Best way to make Blueberry Cheesecake Fluff Bars

Ok I’m going to say what a lot of people have NOT been saying, Michael Jackson was a weirdo. He invited little boys (and some girls) to his Neverland Ranch for overnight visits. Just typing it sounds weird, huh?

But of course the passing of anyone’s father, brother or son is sad, and especially when that person is a music icon adored by millions.


Jimi Hendrix? Dead
Janis Joplin? Dead
John Lennon and Jim Morrison? Dead and Dead
Kurt Cobain? Dead
Easy E, Biggie and Tupac? Dead, Dead, Dead
and now Michael Jackson…. Dead


Can you imagine if all the above people were still alive? What would music be like? Would Miley Cyrus and Lil Wayne still be on top? I doubt it. Would all rap songs still be about sex and cars like they are now? Would we actually have good rock music instead of this whiney-man music (aka Daughtry)? And would music come from people playing instruments and not from a computer? We will never know.

Kim Kardashian recently said she was going to make an album that would sound like Lady Gaga and Britney Spears. Why? We already have Britney Spears. She also said “Filming the video would be fun, that would be the best bit.” 

To me, a real musician makes music for the love of the music…because they are musically inclined… because writing lyrics is their therapy… not to make music videos.

Notes

This was totally an experiment. Marshmallow fluff was on sale and to be honest I have never bought the stuff. Once I got home I scooped some out with a graham cracker and knew I had to bake with it or I wouldn’t be able to control myself. The stuff is addicting! The Blueberry Cheesecake Fluff bar is pretty good! It tasted like a classic blueberry cheesecake but with a much lighter cheesecake. The fluff make it sweet, light and sticky.

Substitutions

Keto Cheesecake Bars with Blueberry Swirl (Gluten-Free & Sugar-Free)

When making blueberry cheesecake puff bars, pure vanilla extract is the only ingredient that can be substituted for the vanilla bean paste. Lemon zest and juice compliment the blueberries and balance the cream cheese. One cup and half of blueberries are used to make the cheesecake filling in this recipe. Blueberries may be substituted with blueberries from your favorite blueberry pie. When preparing blueberry cheesecake puff bars, the filling should be at room temperature.

Lemon zest sugar is another good substitute for cream cheese. This can be made by combining granulated white sugar with lemon zest. Lemon zest contains the most lemon flavor, so try to purchase organic lemons. Regular lemons should be washed well. While it is an additional step, this is well worth it. It will give the blueberry cheesecake puff bars a different flavor. To serve this delicious dessert, you can store the bars in the fridge.

Freezing

This recipe for freezing Blueberry Cheesecake Fluff Bars has been around for quite a while. While you can eat them within a couple of days, they can be stored for up to one month in the freezer. The good news is that they can also be eaten after the freezer has been defrosted. The bars stay soft and creamy for about a week after freezing. Here are some great ways to freeze these delicious treats.

The recipe calls for an 8-inch square pan, lined with wax or parchment paper. If you aren’t feeling adventurous, you can use graham cracker crumbs or vanilla wafer cookies instead of gingersnap cookies. The cheesecake filling is made with cream cheese and lemon paste, which is added together just before freezing. The frozen bars can then be drizzled with blueberry sauce to serve as a dessert.
