I'm such a sucker for lemon and cream cheese together (if blueberries are in the mix, well then that's just a lovely bonus)! ;)

Hi Nikki! My name is Ruby and I'm 9 years old. I'm learning how to cook and I made these today with my grandma Jane and they are awesome!! She made a blueberry sauce to serve on the top which made them even more incredible! She has a blog, too-Cottage at the Crossroads. Thank you for the recipe.

I had trouble with giving it a 5 star rating! Hope it works this time!

Is the center of the cheesecake supposed to be soupy? I'm not sure if I should leave it in longer or take it out and let it set. :(
