Instructions
 

Prepare the Cookie Crust:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.

      - Divide this mixture evenly among serving cups (yielding about 6-8 cups, depending on their size). Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of each cup to create a sturdy crust. Place the cups in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

        Make the Cheesecake Filling:

          - In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy.

            - Add the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix on medium speed until the ingredients are fully combined and no lumps remain.

              - Retrieve the cups from the refrigerator and evenly spoon the cheesecake filling over the crusts in each cup. Use a spatula to smooth the tops.

                Prepare the Blueberry Topping:

                  - In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring gently until the blueberries begin to release their juices.

                    - For a thicker topping, dissolve 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water and stir this mixture into the blueberry mix. Continue cooking and stirring for an additional 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.

                      Assemble the Cups:

                        - Once the blueberry topping has cooled slightly, generously spoon it over the cheesecake filling in each cup. Ensure that each cup gets plenty of blueberry topping for a burst of flavor!

                          Chill and Serve:

                            - Cover the cups with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to fully set.

                              - Just before serving, garnish each cup with fresh mint leaves and a few whole blueberries for an added pop of color.

                                Indulge in your delightful No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Cups, a refreshing treat that’s perfect for any occasion!
