Like blueberry pie but in bar form. These can be made any time of year as the recipe uses frozen blueberries. My husband really appreciated this delicious dessert.
The crust on the bottom is like a shortbread crust. The filling is a sweet blueberry filling with a lemony accent. The crumble on top is perfectly yummy. I love the squares topped with my Creme Fraiche, but a dollop of low-carb vanilla ice cream would be good, too.
I have another recipe along these lines, but this recipe is better - I perfected it!
The base and the topping are made from the same mix; some is reserved for the crumble topping. I give 2 bake mix alternatives and one alternative without using a bake mix.
Of course, you could use fresh blueberries in the summertime, no problem.
No need to use cornstarch to thicken the sauce, as I use very little liquid in the sauce.
