Instructions
Preparation Steps
Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
Stir graham crumbs, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Drizzle in melted butter and mix until moistened.
Divide mixture among liners, about 1 heaping tablespoon each. Press firmly to pack the crust.
Bake crusts at 350°F for 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until very smooth and fluffy, 1–2 minutes.
Mix in sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla until creamy and combined.
Fold in blueberries gently so they stay whole.
Spoon filling over cooled crusts and smooth the tops.
Chill until set, at least 4 hours or overnight. Top with lemon curd and extra berries before serving.
Notes
Variation: Swap half the blueberries for raspberries, or add a swirl of blueberry jam before chilling. Storage: Keep covered and refrigerated up to 4 days; add toppings just before serving for best texture.This recipe is an original creation inspired by classic Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Delights flavors.
