Method
 

Berry Swirl Sauce Preparation
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5 minutes until bubbly and the berries soften. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove and let cool.
Crust Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Line a muffin tin with liners and press the mixture into the bottoms. Bake for 5 minutes, then cool.
Filling Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Blend in sour cream, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Ensure the filling is smooth.
Assembly
  1. Spoon filling into cooled crusts, filling about 3/4 full. Add a dollop of berry swirl sauce and gently swirl with a toothpick.
Baking
  1. Bake the assembled bites for 16-18 minutes. Remove when centers are slightly jiggly. Cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before refrigerating.
Chill and Serve
  1. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a firmer texture. Remove from muffin tin and serve chilled.
