Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (65g) brown sugar, packed

- 1/2 tsp (3g) baking powder
Instructions:
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
- Combine melted butter, flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl until a crumbly dough forms. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until the edges are barely golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Using a mixer, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract on medium-low speed just until incorporated.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the par-baked crust.
- Gently press fresh blueberries into the top of the cream cheese layer.
- In a separate bowl, blend softened butter, flour, brown sugar, oats, and baking powder until clumps form.
- Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the blueberry layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set and the crumble is mahogany-colored gold.
- Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
