Ingredients
Crust:
• 4 sheets of graham crackers
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
Cheesecake Filling:
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon flour
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 large lemon
Topping:
• 6 tablespoons blueberry jam
• 1/2 pint blueberries
• Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
Crust:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a regular-sized muffin tin with 9 liners and fill up half of the
other empty spaces with water. This ensures even baking.
2. In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers to crumbs. Stir in the sugar and melted butter. Press
an even amount of graham cracker crust into the bottom of each muffin liner.
3. Press down the crust with a milk cap or the backside of a tablespoon measuring spoon and set aside.
Filling:
1. In a medium sized bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese and white sugar. Beat until
smooth and creamy. Add in the flour, vanilla extract, egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat until
combined. Feel free to add more zest as desired to personal taste preference.
2. Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly between the 9 cups and bake for 23-27 minutes. The centers will
still jiggle a little bit, but the edges should be a very light brown.
3. Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes and then transfer to the
fridge and let cool for at least 2 hours. The centers will have sunk in quite a bit (this is for the jam
filling!)
Topping:
1. Once the cheesecakes have been cooled for 2 hours in the fridge, place 4 and ½ tablespoons of
blueberry jam in a small bowl and microwave for 10-15 seconds. Spoon ½ tablespoon of jam on top
of each cheesecake and spread to cover the top.
2. Immediately top with fresh blueberries.
3. Place the last 1 and ½ tablespoon in the same small bowl and microwave for 10-15 seconds. Using a
pastry brush, brush the tops of all of the fresh blueberries with the jam. Sprinkle powdered sugar on
top if desired.
