Gluten-free & Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake Bites
The idea of a homemade cheesecake might sound intimidating, but this recipe for our Blueberry Cheesecake Bites couldn’t be more beginner-friendly! These bite-sized morsels are a perfect fusion of creamy cheesecake and juicy blueberries for a burst of sweet and tangy flavor in every bite.
Cheesecake tends to be tricky when you or someone you’re sharing with has food allergies; gluten in the crust, dairy in the cake. Luckily, this recipe for Blueberry Cheesecake Bites calls for vegan, gluten-free ingredients so you and your loved ones can share and enjoy. With a buttery graham cracker crust made with Partake’s vegan, gluten-free, and top 9 allergen-free Classic Grahams, velvety vegan vanilla cream cheese filling, and a fresh homemade blueberry sauce all layered in a cupcake pan, these summery treats are ideal for sharing or keeping in the fridge for whenever the craving hits.
Blueberry Cheesecake Bite Tips & Tricks
- Use cupcake liners to easily remove your cheesecakes after baking – and make cleanup a snap!
- Cheesecake bites can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Just add your blueberry topping immediately before serving.
- Bring your cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumpy, unmixed filling.
- A food processor is the best option to get a uniform graham cracker crust, but in a pinch, you can use a blender or put your graham crackers in a zip-top bag and use a heavy item such as a rolling pin to crush.
- We recommend fresh blueberries, but to use frozen blueberries, omit the tablespoon of water from the topping and increase the cornstarch if needed to thicken the sauce.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.

- Combine the blueberries, sugar, and 1 tbsp of water in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Once boiling, add the water + cornstarch mixture to the pan. Stir and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in the yogurt and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Evenly distribute the cheesecake filling into the cupcake liners, covering the graham cracker crust. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the tops of the cheesecakes are firm.
- Allow the cheesecakes to cool and place in the refrigerator to chill for 3 hours.
