Easy Mini Cheesecake Recipe: Ingredients

1 1/2 cups of chopped nuts - walnuts, almonds and pecans work well

3 tablespoons of butter - melted

1 tablespoon of white sugar

2 packages of cream cheese - 8 oz each - softened

1/2 cup of white sugar

2 large eggs - at room temperature

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups of blueberries - either fresh or frozen is fine.

If you use frozen: defrost and drain the juice.

1/2 cup of white sugar

2 tablespoons of butter

2 tablespoons of lemon juice

1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of cornstarch

I like my topping thick so I use 1 1/2 tablespoons

Blueberry Mini Cheesecake Recipe: Method

In a large bowl, mix the nuts, the sugar and the butter together. Drop about 1 tablespoon of the nut-butter-sugar mix into each muffin cup - use some muffin paper holders.

Bake for 3 minutes at 325 degrees.

In a stand mixer - or with a hand held mixer - place the cream cheese and mix it. Add the sugar and blend well. Add the eggs one at a time and the vanilla. Make sure all the ingredients are well combined.

Drop the batter onto the crust filling your muffins cups to 3/4 full.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes for a normal size muffin tin and 10 minutes for minis.

In a saucepan, bring the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice to a boil. With a potato masher, mash some of the fruit. Add the cornstarch and mix with a whisk until the syrup thickens.

Pull off the stove top and add the butter. Blend well. Let cool before placing some of the blueberry topping on top of your cooled mini cheesecakes. Any leftover blueberry topping makes a wonderful pancake, waffle or yogurt topping.

Makes about 18 regular size mini cheesecakes.
