Ingredients

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• Fresh cherries for garnish (optional)

How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcake

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until well combined, then press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Make sure not to overmix.
5. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries and lemon juice. Cook until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
6. Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Drop a teaspoon of the blueberry mixture on top of each cupcake and use a toothpick to swirl it into the batter.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly. Allow them to cool completely in the pan before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
8. Once chilled, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Pipe or dollop the whipped cream on top of each cupcake.
9. Garnish with a cherry on top, if desired, and serve.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother batter.
• Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cupcakes light and fluffy.
• Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen can work in a pinch—just thaw and drain excess liquid.

Easy Variations

• Substitute raspberries or strawberries for the blueberries for a different fruity twist.
• Add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the cheesecake batter for a refreshing citrus note.
• Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an added creamy texture.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• A hot cup of coffee or tea to balance the sweetness.
