Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh blueberries

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp lemon zest

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 tsp salt

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated with butter and resemble wet sand.

    Form the Crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a mini muffin tin (or silicone molds). Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a flat, even layer. Place the tin in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set.

      Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined and creamy.

        Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to break them.

          Fill the Crusts: Remove the muffin tin from the refrigerator and spoon the cream cheese filling over the chilled crusts. Fill each cup generously until all the filling is used.

            Chill and Set: Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set.

              Serve and Garnish: Once set, remove the blueberry cream cheese bites from the mold. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.

                Enjoy: Serve chilled as a delightful appetizer or dessert.
