Mini Lemon Cheesecakes Blueberry (Print-Friendly Version)

Tangy lemon cheesecakes layered with blueberry sauce, perfectly portioned for dessert lovers.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Crust

01 - 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheesecake Filling

04 - 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
05 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1/4 cup sour cream
08 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
09 - 1 teaspoon lemon zest
10 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Blueberry Sauce

11 - 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
12 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
13 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
14 - 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
02 - Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Stir until evenly mixed. Place about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each liner and press firmly with the back of a spoon. Bake for 5 minutes, then allow to cool.
03 - In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly. Blend in sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
04 - Distribute the cheesecake batter evenly over each crust, filling about three-quarters full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until set in the center. Cool in the muffin tin for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
05 - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst. Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
06 - Top each mini cheesecake with a spoonful of cooled blueberry sauce just before serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth, lump-free batter.
02 - Cheesecakes are best served chilled and can be made ahead a day in advance.
