- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 oz white chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
For the Topping:

Equipment Needed

Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each liner, pressing it down firmly to form a crust. Bake for 5 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and sour cream, mixing until fully combined.
- Stir in the melted white chocolate until evenly incorporated.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crusts, filling each liner about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 3 hours.
- Decorate the Cupcakes:
- Once chilled, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top of each cheesecake cupcake.
- Garnish with extra blueberries for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove the cupcakes from the liners, plate them up, and serve chilled.
Tips for Success
- For a smooth cheesecake filling, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
- If fresh blueberries aren’t in season, frozen blueberries work just as well—just be sure to pat them dry before folding them into the batter.
- Use a double boiler or microwave to melt the white chocolate gently to prevent burning.
