Ingredients

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/4 cup blueberry preserves
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• Fresh strawberries, for garnish

How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcake

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a standard muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing until combined.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated.
5. In a separate small bowl, gently fold together the fresh blueberries and blueberry preserves to create a blueberry swirl mixture.
6. Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crusts, filling each liner about two-thirds full. Drop spoonfuls of the blueberry mixture on top of the batter and use a toothpick to swirl it gently into the cheesecake.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. While the cupcakes are cooling, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Once the cupcakes are cooled, top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream and garnish with fresh strawberries.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
• Don’t overmix the blueberry swirl; you want to see ribbons of blueberry for a beautiful effect.
• Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before adding the whipped cream topping to prevent it from melting.

Easy Variations

• Swap out blueberries for raspberries or strawberries for a different berry flavor.
• Add a hint of lemon zest to the cheesecake batter for a zesty twist.
• Incorporate chocolate chips into the batter for a chocolate-blueberry delight.

What to Serve With It

• A refreshing glass of lemonade or iced tea.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
• Fresh fruit salad for a light and fruity side.
