Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 18 servings

  • 1 cup Honey Maid Graham Cracker Crumbs

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

  • 3 (8 ounce) packages Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened

  • ¾ cup sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 cup whipping cream

  • 2 cups blueberries

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 325 degrees F.

  2. Mix graham crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar, and butter together; press onto bottoms of 18 paper-lined muffin pan cups.

  3. Beat cream cheese, remaining 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla with mixer until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Pour over crusts.

  4. Bake 25 to 30 min. or until centers are almost set. Cool completely. Refrigerate 2 hours.

  5. Beat whipping cream with mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form; spread gently onto cheesecakes. Top with blueberries and lemon zest.

You can omit the whipped cream, blueberries, and lemon zest. Bake and chill cheesecakes as directed. Spread with 1/3 cup strawberry jam. Garnish with fresh strawberry halves and mint sprigs. Or, spread each cheesecake with 2 tablespoons Philadelphia Indulgence Milk Chocolate and 1 teaspoon flaked coconut.
