Ingredients: What You’ll Need

For the Blueberry Sauce:

• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

For the Cupcakes:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup milk

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps to Sweet Perfection

Step 1: Prepping the Blueberry Sauce

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the berries begin to soften—about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and bring to a gentle boil until thickened. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Baking the Cupcakes

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with liners.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt—your dry ingredients are now ready to go!
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, along with the vanilla extract, then alternate adding your dry ingredients and milk until just combined.
5. Fill the cupcake liners about halfway and bake for about 18-20 minutes.

Step 3: Making the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until creamy.
2. Once the cupcakes have cooled for a few minutes, make a small indent in the center of each cupcake, and spoon about a tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture into the hole.

Step 4: Assembly & Topping

1. Return the cupcakes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until the cheesecake filling is set.
2. Once they’re cooled, top each cupcake generously with your blueberry sauce. Voilà!

Cooking Tips to Keep in Mind

• Easy Cleanup: Are you like me and not a fan of excessive dishes? Use a one-bowl method for your batter to minimize cleanup. Just make sure to mix your dry ingredients in a different bowl first!
• Fruitful Substitutions: Have other berries on hand? Feel free to swap in raspberries or strawberries for a fun twist.
• Prep Ahead: The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for a week, perfect for when cravings hit!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt?

Absolutely! If you’re looking for a lighter option, Greek yogurt will give you a similar texture, but the taste will be a bit tangier.

How can I store leftovers?

Keep any cupcakes that feature cheesecake filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just make sure to add the blueberry sauce right before serving to keep them fresh!

What if I don’t have fresh blueberries?

No worries! Frozen blueberries work just fine too—just be sure to thaw and drain them before preparing the sauce.
