Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Divide the mixture evenly among the lined muffin cups, pressing it down firmly with the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to form the crust.
Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then remove and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup of sugar together until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition to fully incorporate. Stir in the sour cream until smooth.
Evenly distribute the cheesecake batter over the graham cracker crusts, filling each liner almost to the top.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the center of each cheesecake is just set and slightly jiggles when the pan is shaken.
Remove the cheesecakes from the oven and let them cool to room temperature in the muffin tin. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
To make the blueberry topping, combine the fresh blueberries, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries start to release their juices and the mixture slightly thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Once the cheesecakes are chilled, spoon a small amount of the blueberry topping over each cheesecake. Serve and enjoy!
