Recipe

Crust

1 Cup Organic Unbleached Flour
1 Cup Almond Flour (or very finely ground almonds)
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp. Kosher or Sea Salt
1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter

Filling

One 15 oz. Container of Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
8 oz. Cream Cheese
3 Eggs
1 Tbs. Vanilla Extract
1/2 tsp. Kosher or Sea Salt
1 Cup Organic Cane Sugar

Blueberries

About a Pint of Blueberries
2 Tbs. Brown Sugar
Juice of 1/2 a Lemon

For the Crust:

Preheat oven to 350

Combine the unbleached floor, almond meal, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Melt the butter and pour it over the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until they are evenly combined. The mixture will be crumbly. Press it very firmly into a baking dish (mine was 8×10” but you can use larger or smaller depending on the desired bar thickness. Baking time will be effected.) until it is packed tightly on the bottom. Bake for ten to fifteen minutes until the edges begin to brown. Remove from the oven.

For the Filling:

In the bowl of a food processor or blender, mix the ricotta for about one minute until it is completely smooth. Add the cream cheese and mix again until the mixture is free of lumps. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing between each addition. Finally, add the sugar, vanilla and salt. The mixture should be smooth and creamy. Pour it onto the pre baked crust in the baking dish.

For the Topping:

Mix the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice in a bowl. Gently distribute the berries evenly across the top of the ricotta filling. Place the bars in the oven and bake for about forty-five minutes to an hour. The bars should still jiggle slightly when you shift the pan and the edges will just be browning. Once they are done, remove them from the oven and cool completely before slicing.
