Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free.
Add Greek yogurt or whipped cream, sweetener, and vanilla (if using).
Mix until creamy, light, and fluffy.
Step 2: Prepare Blueberries
If using fresh blueberries, leave them whole or lightly mash for a sauce.
If using frozen, thaw slightly and mash gently for a natural compote.
Step 3: Assemble the Cups
In small cups or jars:
- Spoon a layer of cheesecake filling
- Add a layer of blueberries
- Repeat layers until cups are full
Optional: Add graham cracker crumbs between layers for a classic cheesecake feel.
Step 4: Chill
Cover and refrigerate for 1–2 hours to allow flavors to set and meld.
Step 5: Serve
Top with extra blueberries or a sprinkle of crumbs before serving.
Additional Notes
- Texture tip: Use powdered sweetener for the smoothest filling.
- Sweetness control: Taste before chilling—sweetness dulls slightly when cold.
