For a richer flavor, use European-style butter.

A springform pan can be used to make one larger cheesecake; adjust baking time accordingly.
To prevent the tops from browning too much, tent the cheesecakes with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
These cheesecakes can be made a day ahead of time. Store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

    These were so easy to make and absolutely delicious! I added a pinch of cinnamon to the crust for extra flavor.

  • Carson Bogisich

    I had a little trouble with the crust being too crumbly, but adding a bit more melted butter fixed it right up.

  • Zora Wisozk

    My family loved these! I substituted raspberries for the blueberries and it was a hit.
