Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)

How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcakes

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
3. Press about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form a crust.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and mix until well combined.
5. Add in the vanilla extract and the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the batter is smooth.
6. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
7. Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crusts in the muffin tin, filling each liner about ¾ full.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the centers are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. While the cupcakes cool, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
11. Once the cupcakes are cooled, top each one with a generous dollop of whipped cream and garnish with additional blueberries.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
• Do not overmix the batter to keep the cupcakes light and airy.
• If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent excess moisture.

Easy Variations

• Swap blueberries for other berries like raspberries or strawberries for a different flavor.
• Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a refreshing citrus twist.
• Top with a blueberry compote instead of whipped cream for an extra punch of flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• A cup of coffee or tea for a perfect pairing.
