Ingredients

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 cup whipped topping
• Extra blueberries for garnish (optional)

How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Cups

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well mixed.
2. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a muffin tin to form a crust. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
3. 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.
4. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the cream cheese mixture.
5. Once the graham cracker crusts are cool, spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into each cup.
6. Top each cup with a generous dollop of whipped topping and additional blueberries for garnish, if desired.
7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
• Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
• If you prefer a sweeter filling, adjust the powdered sugar to your taste.
• For added crunch, consider mixing in some crushed nuts into the crust.

Easy Variations

• Swap blueberries for raspberries, strawberries, or a mix of your favorite berries.
• Add a splash of lemon juice or zest to the cream cheese mixture for a citrusy kick.
• Incorporate a layer of fruit preserves beneath the cream cheese for added sweetness.

What to Serve With It

• A side of fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
• Coffee or tea to complement the sweetness of the dessert.
