Directions

Preheat oven to 325ºF. In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar and melted margarine with a fork. Line a standard cupcake pan with foil baking cups. Add about a tablespoon of mixture to each cup, pressing with the back of the spoon to pack the crumbs into a crust. Bake for 5 minutes, remove to cool. Leave oven on. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla until fluffy. Mix in eggs. Fill each crust to 1/4-inch from the top with lemon cream cheese mixture. Bake for 25 minutes, until almost set. Allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 45 minutes to set. Place berries and 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium glass bowl. Microwave for about 1 minute or until berries begin to burst. Stir until well combined. Top each cheesecake with a spoonful of berry sauce.
