How to Make White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcakes

Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Swirl

In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries begin to break down. Mix cornstarch with water, then stir it in. Simmer until thickened. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Graham Cracker Crust

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a cupcake pan with 12 paper liners.
Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Spoon about a tablespoon into each liner and press down firmly. Bake for 5 minutes, then let cool.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in vanilla and sour cream. Fold in melted white chocolate until creamy and well-combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Cupcakes

Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each liner, filling about ¾ full. Add a small spoonful of blueberry sauce to the top of each cupcake and use a toothpick to gently swirl it into the batter.

Step 5: Bake and Chill

Bake at 325°F for 18–22 minutes, or until centers are just set. Cool in the pan, then transfer to the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is best!).

Expert Tips for Perfect Cheesecake Cupcakes

🌡️ Use a water bath for super silky cheesecakes (optional, but pro-level)
