Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tbsp sugar (optional)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or whipped cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the Blueberry Topping:

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2 tbsp maple syrup or sugar
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

1. Make the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar. Press about 2 tablespoons into the bottom of each jar or small glass.
2. Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt (or whipped cream), powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Beat until creamy and light.
3. Make the blueberry topping: In a small saucepan over medium heat, simmer blueberries with maple syrup and lemon juice for 5–7 minutes, until slightly thickened. Use cornstarch if you want it thicker. Cool slightly.
4. Assemble: Layer cheesecake filling over the crust in each jar. Spoon blueberry topping over the cheesecake layer.
5. Chill for at least 1–2 hours, or overnight for best results.
