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 heating blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan until juices are released. Mix cornflour with water, add this mixture to the blueberry sauce, and cook until slightly thickened. Let it cool.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Combine crushed graham crackers with white sugar and melted butter; press this mixture firmly into muffin tins to form crusts.
- For the filling, beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and eggs until just combined.
- Pour the filling over the crusts and bake for about 22 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool completely before refrigerating.
- Once cooled and set in the fridge for at least two hours, top the cheesecakes with the blueberry sauce before serving.
