Method
Prepare the Blueberry Sauce
- Place fresh blueberries in a saucepan with a splash of lemon juice and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally, cooking until the blueberries soften and bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
- Whisk cornstarch with a little water and add it to the pan, continuing to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thickened.
- Strain the sauce if desired, then set aside to cool.
Preheat and Prepare the Pan
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
Make the Crust
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl until fully mixed. Press evenly into the bottom of each cupcake liner.
- Bake the crusts for about 5 minutes, then allow them to cool completely.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add in lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Incorporate the Eggs
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition until combined.
Assemble the Cheesecakes
- Distribute the cheesecake filling evenly among the cooled crusts, filling each liner almost to the top.
Add the Blueberry Swirl
- Spoon about a teaspoon of blueberry sauce on top of each cheesecake filling and gently swirl.
Bake the Cheesecakes
- Bake for 17-20 minutes until the tops are set but still slightly jiggle in the center.
Chill Before Serving
- Transfer the cheesecakes to the refrigerator to chill for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight if possible.
