4. To mix the blueberry filling — In Bowl C add in your blueberries and lemon juice. After that add your flour, cornstarch and sugar then stir. Pour the blueberry filling over the cheesecake layer. Sprinkle the remainder of the crumbly crust / topping mix on top of the blueberries. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 15 to 20 minutes. For the best texture, allow the bake to cool for at least 2 hours before putting them in the fridge. Leave the bake in the fridge for at least four hours, cut into squares before serving and enjoy!
