Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup melted butter
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (melted)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
For the Blueberry Sauce:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Make the crust: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup and press it down gently to form a crust.
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the melted white chocolate and sugar, and beat until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, flour, and sour cream until smooth.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the cheesecake mixture, being careful not to crush them.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust in each muffin cup, filling about ¾ full.
- Bake: Bake the cupcakes for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the blueberry sauce: While the cupcakes are cooling, make the blueberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the blueberries release their juices and the sauce thickens slightly. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a bit of water and stir it into the sauce to thicken. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, spoon a small amount of the blueberry sauce on top of each cheesecake cupcake.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can mix some extra white chocolate into the blueberry sauce.
- You can substitute frozen blueberries if fresh ones are not available.
