Instructions
 

Prepare the crust:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.

      - Distribute the crumb mixture evenly into the bottoms of serving cups or jars, pressing down firmly to create an even layer. Place the cups in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

        Make the cheesecake filling:

          - In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

            - Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

              - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

                Assemble the cups:

                  - Remove the crust cups from the refrigerator. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the crust layer in each cup, filling them about 3/4 full. Smooth the tops with a spatula if needed. Return the cups to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.

                    Prepare the blueberry topping:

                      - In a small saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the blueberries start to release their juices and simmer (about 5 minutes).

                        - If you like a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and add it to the saucepan. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

                          Serve:

                            - Once the cheesecake filling is set and the blueberry topping is cool, generously spoon the blueberry sauce over the cheesecake cups.

                              - Garnish with additional fresh blueberries and mint leaves if desired. Enjoy your delightful no-bake blueberry cheesecake cups!
