Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcakes
Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
For the cheesecake filling:
16 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream
For the blueberry topping:
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Make the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each muffin cup and press down to form a crust. Bake for 5-7 minutes, then remove from the oven.
Prepare the cheesecake filling: Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and sour cream until combined.
Fill the cupcakes: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the baked crusts, filling each cup almost to the top.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set. Let the cupcakes cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Make the blueberry topping: In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the berries soften. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a bit of water and add it to the blueberry mixture. Stir until thickened, then let cool.
Top and Serve: Spoon the cooled blueberry topping over the chilled cheesecake cupcakes just before serving.
