Ingredients You Will Need
For the biscuit base
Crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers 1 and a half cups
Melted butter half cup
For the cheesecake layer
Cream cheese softened 2 cups
Powdered sugar three quarters cup
Vanilla essence 1 teaspoon
Heavy cream 1 cup
For the blueberry topping
Fresh or frozen blueberries 2 cups
Sugar half cup
Cornstarch 1 tablespoon
Water 2 tablespoons
Lemon juice 1 teaspoon
Optional garnish
Extra blueberries as needed
Crushed biscuits as needed
Step by Step Method
First prepare the biscuit base
Take a medium bowl and add the crushed biscuits. Make sure they are finely crushed so the base holds well. Pour the melted butter into the biscuits. Mix everything slowly using a spoon until the crumbs look evenly coated. The mixture should feel slightly moist but not greasy.
Now take serving cups or small glass jars. Add two tablespoons of the biscuit mixture into each cup. Press it down gently using the back of a spoon. This helps create a firm base. Once done place the cups in the refrigerator while you prepare the other layers. This helps the base set nicely.
Next prepare the blueberry topping
Add blueberries to a saucepan. Add sugar and mix gently. Place the pan on medium heat. Let the blueberries heat up and release their juices. Stir occasionally so the sugar dissolves fully. In a small bowl mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Add this mixture to the blueberries.
Continue cooking while stirring until the sauce thickens. This usually takes a few minutes. Once thick add lemon juice and mix well. Turn off the heat and let the topping cool completely. The topping will thicken more as it cools.
Now prepare the cheesecake filling
In a large bowl add softened cream cheese. Beat it using a whisk or hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla essence. Mix again until fully combined. Make sure there are no lumps.
In another bowl whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. This means it should be fluffy but not stiff. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula and fold slowly so the mixture stays light and airy. This step gives the cheesecake its soft texture.
Assemble the cheesecake cups
Take the cups from the refrigerator. Add a generous layer of the cheesecake mixture on top of the biscuit base. Smooth the surface gently. Add a spoonful of cooled blueberry topping over the cheesecake layer. You can add more cheesecake and more topping if you want layered cups.
Once all cups are assembled place them back in the refrigerator. Let them chill for at least four hours. Overnight chilling gives the best texture and flavor. Before serving garnish with extra blueberries or crushed biscuits if desired.
Why This Recipe Is Special
This recipe is special because it is simple and beginner friendly. You do not need baking knowledge or expensive equipment. Everything is mixed and chilled which makes it stress free. Even if you are new to cooking desserts you can make this successfully.
Another reason this recipe stands out is the balance of flavors. The creamy cheesecake layer is rich but not heavy. The blueberry topping adds freshness and slight tanginess. The biscuit base adds crunch and structure. Together they create a perfect bite every time.
Blueberries are also known for their health benefits. They are rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Using them in this dessert adds a natural fruit element that makes it feel lighter than traditional cheesecake. Portion control is easier because the dessert is served in cups which helps prevent overeating.
