Juicy Mini Lemon Blueberry Cheesecakes – Creamy, Bright & Perfectly Bite-Sized


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale
(Makes 12 mini cheesecakes)

Crust:

  • 1 cup almond flour (you love almond flour—memory #25!)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1½ tbsp granulated monk fruit sweetener
  • Pinch of salt

Lemon blueberry filling:

  • 8 oz (1 block) full-fat cream cheese, softened (you love cream cheese!)
  • ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (high-protein—you love this!)
  • ¼ cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
  • Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tbsp—you love citrus!)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup fresh or frozen blueberries, divided (you love berries!)

Topping:

  • Extra whole blueberries
  • Lemon zest
  • Optional: Sugar-free whipped cream

Instructions

1. Make crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, and salt. Press 1 tbsp into each liner.
  3. Bake 8–10 minutes until golden. Cool completely.

2. Make filling:

Beat cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sweetener, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy (~2 min).

3. Swirl in blueberries:

Gently fold in ½ cup blueberries (they’ll break—this creates juicy swirls!).

4. Fill & chill:

Divide filling among crusts. Top each with 1–2 whole blueberries. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or freeze 1 hour for faster set).

5. Serve:

Garnish with lemon zest and optional whipped cream.
💡 Pro Tips for Perfection:
Use room-temp cream cheese—prevents lumps.
Don’t overmix after adding berries—keeps swirls intact.
