Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust
-
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press 1 tbsp mixture into each liner.
-
Bake for 5 minutes, then let cool.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling
-
Melt white chocolate chips (microwave in 20-sec intervals, stirring until smooth). Let cool slightly.
-
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and Greek yogurt.
-
Mix in melted white chocolate.
-
Mash ½ cup blueberries and gently fold into batter.
3. Optional Blueberry Swirl
-
In a small saucepan, cook ½ cup blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice over low heat until jammy (~5 min). Cool slightly.
-
Spoon cheesecake batter into cups, then add a small dollop of blueberry swirl. Use a toothpick to swirl gently.
4. Bake & Chill
-
Divide batter evenly among cups (fill almost to the top).
-
Bake 18–22 minutes until edges are set but centers jiggle slightly.
-
Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
5. Serve & Garnish
-
Top with whipped cream, fresh blueberries, or white chocolate shavings.
