Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  7. In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, vanilla, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  8. Fold in the thawed Cool Whip until combined and fluffy.
  9. Once the cookie cups are completely cool, spoon a generous amount of the cheesecake filling into each cookie cup.
  10. Top with fresh blueberries and sprinkle seasonal sprinkles on top for a festive touch.
  11. Insert paper flags if desired for an extra patriotic flair.

Notes

For best results, ensure cream cheese is at room temperature before beating. You can experiment with different flavors of cake mixes and fruits.
