Directions
- In a medium saucepan, combine fresh or frozen blueberries with sugar and lemon juice over medium heat. Gently mash the blueberries while cooking for about 5-7 minutes until soft and syrupy. Whisk together cornstarch and water, add it to the mixture, and let bubble for 1-2 minutes. Strain sauce to remove skins, then cool completely.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Gather your muffin tin, ideally with 12 cavities.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted unsalted butter until well-blended. Press the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cavity to form an even crust. Bake for 5 minutes and cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined. Incorporate the eggs one at a time.
- Distribute the creamy filling evenly among the cooled crusts in the muffin tin. Drizzle a swirl of blueberry sauce over each cheesecake and gently swirl.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 17-20 minutes. The edges should be slightly set with a jiggle in the center.
- Remove the cheesecakes from the oven and let them cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 3-4 hours.
