Ingredients

• 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for blueberry topping)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Divide the crust mixture evenly among the muffin cups, pressing the mixture firmly into the bottom of each cup to form an even layer.

Step 4

Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool while preparing the cheesecake filling.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.

Step 6

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the filling light and creamy.

Step 7

Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled crusts, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake the cheesecakes for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let them cool to room temperature in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.

Step 9

While the cheesecakes cool, prepare the blueberry topping. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water. Cook, stirring frequently, until the blueberries begin to release their juices and the mixture starts to simmer.

Step 10

In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 teaspoon of water, then add it to the blueberry mixture. Cook for 1-2 more minutes, or until the topping thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

Step 11

Once the cheesecakes and topping are cool, spoon a small amount of blueberry topping onto each cheesecake and serve. Optionally, garnish with fresh blueberries or a sprig of mint.
