For a richer flavor, use European-style butter instead of shortening. If fresh blueberries aren't available, frozen blueberries can be used. Do not thaw before using, and consider tossing them lightly in a tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom. A hint of lemon zest in the cream cheese topping adds a bright, complementary flavor. Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
