Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp sugar
Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Topping
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Additional blueberries and white chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup to create the crust layer.
- Add Blueberries and Chocolate: Sprinkle a few fresh blueberries and white chocolate chips evenly over each crust in the muffin cups.
- Make Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Divide this cheesecake filling evenly among the muffin cups over the crust and toppings.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the filling is set. Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack.
- Prepare Topping: Mix together the sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to create a smooth topping. Spoon this mixture over the cooled cupcakes.
- Garnish: Decorate the topped cupcakes with additional blueberries and white chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and texture to set perfectly.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the best creamy texture.
- Make sure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Allow cupcakes to cool completely before adding the sour cream topping.
- Chilling improves flavor and texture—do not skip refrigeration.
- White chocolate chips can be slightly melted if desired before adding for extra creaminess.
