Instructions:

1. Prepare the Blueberry Swirl:
   • In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside to cool.
2. Prepare the Crust:

   • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an air fryer-safe square pan.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
   • In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream, mixing until fully combined.
4. Assemble the Cheesecake Bars:
   • Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust. Drop spoonfuls of the blueberry mixture onto the filling and swirl with a toothpick or knife.
5. Cook in the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
   • Place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into bars.
