Description

Delightful mini cheesecakes packed with zesty lemon and juicy blueberries, perfect for a guilt-free sweet treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup sugar or honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a cupcake pan with mini cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until combined and press into the bottom of the lined pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add Greek yogurt, sugar (or honey), eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
  5. Divide the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the centers are set but slightly jiggly.

  8. Serve chilled, garnished with extra blueberries if desired.

Notes

Make-ahead tips: Can be made a day in advance. Store in the fridge. For a vegan version, use plant-based cream cheese and flax eggs.
