How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Cups
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well mixed.

- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined and creamy.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the cream cheese mixture.
- Once the graham cracker crusts are cool, spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into each cup.
- Top each cup with a generous dollop of whipped topping and additional blueberries for garnish, if desired.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
