Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream, chilled

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening the blueberry topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir well until the mixture is evenly combined and resembles wet sand.

    Layer the Base: Divide the graham cracker mixture into servings and spoon about 2 tablespoons into the bottom of individual cups or small glasses. Use the back of a spoon to gently press down the crumbs, creating an even, compact layer.

      Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully combined and no lumps remain.

        Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, using clean beaters, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form (this should take about 2-3 minutes). Carefully fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, mixing gently until well incorporated. Then, fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks are visible.

          Layer the Cheesecake Mix: Spoon the prepared cheesecake filling into the cups, layering it on top of the graham cracker crust. Fill each cup about halfway, leaving room for the blueberry topping.

            Prepare the Blueberry Topping: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using). Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin to burst and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let the blueberry topping cool for a few minutes.

              Top with Blueberries: Spoon the warm blueberry mixture generously over the cheesecake layer in each cup.

                Chill: Place the filled cups in the refrigerator and allow to chill for at least 2 hours to set the cheesecake completely before serving.

                  Garnish: Just before serving, add a few fresh blueberries on top of each cup and, if desired, a dollop of any leftover whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
