    List of Ingredients




    FOR THE CRUSTS:
    1 tablespoon unsalted butter
    1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

    FOR THE FILLING:
    3/4 cup cream cheese, softened
    1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided use
    1/4 teaspoon vanilla
    1/4 teaspoon almond extract
    1 large egg

    1 cup blueberries, picked over
    1/3 cup water
    2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water

    Recipe



    TO MAKE THE CRUSTS:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and set rack to middle position.

    In a small saucepan melt the butter over moderately high heat, stir in the crumbs, and divide the mixture among four paper lined 1/2 cup muffin tins, patting the mixture to form a crust.

    Bake the crusts for 5 minutes and let them cool on a rack for 5 minutes.

    TO MAKE THE FILLING:
    In a bowl with an electric mixture beat together the cream cheese, 1/4 cup of the sugar, vanilla, almond extract and a pinch of salt until the mixture is combined well, beat in the egg, beating until the batter is combined well, and divide the batter among the tins. (The batter will fill the tins.)

    Bake cakes for 20 minutes, or until they are set, and let them cool on a rack for 10 minutes.

    TO MAKE THE SAUCE:
    While cheesecakes are baking, in a small heavy saucepan combine blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and water, bring the mixture to a boil and simmer it, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes.

    Stir in the cornstarch mixture add it to the blueberries with the lemon juice, and simmer the mixture, stirring for 2 minutes.

    Discard the paper liners, invert the cheesecakes onto plates, and spoon the sauce around them.

    Servings: 4
