Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Topping
- 2 tablespoons blueberry jam or preserves
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of cupcake liners placed in a muffin tin to form the crust base.
- Make the Cheesecake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and white sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and melted white chocolate, ensuring an even blend. Fold in the sour cream gently to keep the batter light and smooth.
- Add Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the cheesecake batter, making sure they are evenly distributed but not broken up.
- Assemble Cupcakes: Spoon the cheesecake batter over the prepared graham cracker crust in each cupcake liner, filling them about 3/4 full to allow for rising.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Bake the cupcakes for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still jiggles slightly when the pan is gently shaken.
- Cool Down: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. Then transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight for best texture and flavor.
- Add Blueberry Topping: Before serving, top each chilled cheesecake cupcake with a dollop of blueberry jam or preserves for an extra burst of fruity sweetness.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the batter.
- Use fresh blueberries to provide a fresh and tangy contrast to the sweet white chocolate.
- Do not overbake the cupcakes to prevent cracks and maintain a creamy center.
- Chilling in the refrigerator is essential for the cheesecake to set properly.
- You can substitute the graham cracker crust with digestive biscuits crumbs if desired.
