Instructions

- Add the two large eggs, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and kosher salt, mixing until well combined.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and spread evenly.
- Top with fresh blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, gently pressing them into the cheesecake layer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, light brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt before mixing in the melted butter.
- Sprinkle this mixture over the berries and cheesecake layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly golden.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper and slicing into squares.
