Ingredients

Scale

1 cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 teaspoon cornflour
2 teaspoons water
1 cup crushed graham crackers
3 tablespoons white sugar
3 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Zest from 1 lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs at room temperature

Instructions

Prepare the blueberry topping by simmering blueberries with sugar, lemon juice, cornflour, and water until thickened. Let cool.
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Combine crushed graham crackers with sugar and melted butter; press into muffin tin cups to form crusts.
In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, then mix in lemon juice, zest, vanilla extract, and eggs until combined.
Pour cheesecake filling over crusts and bake for about 22 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least two hours.
Top with blueberry mixture before serving.
