Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)

Zest of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried

1/4 cup lemon curd (store-bought or homemade), for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir thoroughly until all crumbs are well-coated in butter, forming a sandy mixture.

    Form the cups: Evenly distribute the graham cracker mixture into 6 small dessert cups or ramekins. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press down firmly, creating an even and compact crust at the bottom of each cup.

      Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Gradually add the powdered sugar, sour cream, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Continue mixing until all ingredients are well incorporated and the filling is completely smooth.

        Assemble the cups: Carefully spoon the lemon cream filling into each cup on top of the prepared crusts. Use a spatula to smooth the tops, creating an even surface.

          Add blueberries: Generously top each cup with fresh blueberries, gently pressing them into the lemon filling for added flavor and decoration.

            Drizzle with lemon curd: Spoon a small amount of lemon curd over the top of each dessert cup. This will contribute a delightful punch of lemon flavor.

              Chill: Cover the cups with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully and lets the filling set to the perfect consistency.

                Serve: Once chilled, remove the cups from the refrigerator. Optionally, for an elegant finishing touch, garnish each cup with a sprinkle of additional lemon zest or a sprig of fresh mint before serving.

                    Presentation Tips: Consider serving the cups on a beautiful platter. For an eye-catching display, place an additional blueberry or two and a small lemon wedge next to each cup for a pop of color.
