Notes
- Graham Cracker Alternative: If graham crackers are unavailable, you can substitute them with crushed digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers.
- Chilling Time: Allowing the cheesecake bars to chill for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) helps them firm up for clean slicing.
- Swirl Technique: For a more dramatic swirl, use a toothpick or skewer to gently mix the blueberry compote into the cheesecake layer. Be careful not to overmix, or the colors will blend too much.
- Crust Consistency: Press the crust firmly into the pan to ensure it holds together after baking. A flat-bottomed measuring cup can help even out the crust.
- Storage: Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze individual bars and thaw them in the fridge before serving.
- Serving Tip: For clean slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it clean between cuts.
