    These no bake cheesecake shots are super simple to make. There are two versions of this recipe. One is made with meyer lemon and blueberry. The other is made with only meyer lemon. Both are equally delicious!

    I just love no bake desserts.

    They make me happy.

    I think it's the fact that you can fool people into thinking you spent all day making cute little desserts...

    when you really spent all day watching things like The Real Housewives of Everywhere and Anywhere.

    So apparently I'm admitting to getting a kick out of tricking folks.

    Not sure what that says about me.

    Not sure I really care.

    I've got a full belly and I caught up on all The Real Housewives this week.

    So life is good.

    And when life is good you celebrate with not one, but two desserts.

    It's how us lunatics roll.

    This week's Sunday Supper theme is April Showers. Baby showers, bridal showers, we all need recipes that will feed a crowd for these types of events. So when I heard the theme for this week's Sunday Supper I knew little shot glass desserts was the way to go. Feeds lots of folks and they have that cute factor. Function and cuteness, that's a perfect combo.

    Speaking of perfect combos, I have to say lemon and blueberry is wicked good. It goes together perfectly. The flavours compliment each other so well. If you've never tried this flavour combination you need to run into your kitchen immediately and make these. It will change your life. No lie!

    Meyer Lemons can also change your life. Once you start using them you will never want to stop. Just check out my recipes over the past two weeks. Meyer Lemon Madness indeed. I got a tad carried away.

    I hope you get carried away making these sweet desserts too. I can't think of a better thing to get carried doing.

    Total Time 20 minutes
    Author Kim Beaulieu

    Ingredients

    For the Base:

    • 1 cup graham crumbs
    • 2 tablespoons butter melted

    For the Lemon Filling:

    • ½ brick cream cheese softened
    • 2 cups cool whip
    • 1 teaspoon meyer lemon juice

    For the Blueberry Filling:

    • ¼ brick cream cheese softened
    • 1 cup cool whip
    • ¼ cup fresh blueberries crushed

    For the Topping:

    • 1 cup cool whip

    For the Garnish:

    • Blueberries
    • Meyer Lemon Zest

    Instructions

    Remember you can get creative with this one. Combine them and mix them up in multiple layers. You can do some plain lemon, some plain blueberry and some with blueberry and lemon.

      For the Base:

      • In a medium sized bowl combine the crumbs and melted butter. Mix well. Press into the bottoms of mini shot glasses.

      For the Lemon Filling:

      • Combine ingredients in a stand mixer and whisk till fluffy.
      • Transfer to a piping bag if you want to fill the shot glasses easily. Fill glasses in any fashion you like.

      For the Blueberry Filling:

      • Combine ingredients in a stand mixer and whisk till fluffy.
      • Transfer to a piping bag if you want to fill the shot glasses easily. Fill glasses in any fashion you like.

      For the Topping:

      • Pop the cool whip in a piping bag with a large tip. Pipe over top of the filling.

      For the Garnish:

      • Top with blueberries or lemon zest.
      • Pop the glasses in the fridge till you are ready to serve them.
      • Serve with a big old lemony blueberry smile.

      Notes

      Mix them up any way you like!
      Standard bricks of cream cheese are 8 ounces. So if you half one it would be 4 ounces. Just a little FYI.

        I would probably take a minimum of three! These sound and look fantastic - really, really delicious 🙂

        Oh these are so cute. I don't think I could choose between the two options so I would just have to make both.

          Yup, that's totally what I did. Some days one dessert just isn't enough.

        Kim, everything is better in a shot glass, including this cheesecake! I can't tell you how much I love these - I'd be so thrilled if I saw them at a party. I'd hover around those babies and growl at people who foolishly tried to grab one 😉 Lemon and blueberry is one of my favourite flavour combinations. I've never tried meyer lemon before though - I really need to get on that!

          Exactly my thinking. And I love your plan to growl at people. That makes me happy to know I'm not the only one who tries to steer people away from food I want all to myself.

          Meyers are just a bit sweeter. I just love them, like a little addiction really.

        I totoally agree about the blueberry lemon combo! How fantastic is it!!!!! I really should source a meyer lemon tree. I have a mean recipe for bluberry cupcakes with creamy lemon frosting that you may like.

        Keep up the good work.

          It's the perfect combo for spring.I would love to put a tree in our yard. But I'm not sure it could take our Canuck winters.
