Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp sugar
For the Filling:
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup white chocolate chips
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Topping:
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Additional blueberries and white chocolate shavings for garnish
Directions:
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners to prepare for the cupcake base.
Prepare Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well blended. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup to form a solid crust.
Add Blueberries and Chocolate: Place a few fresh blueberries and white chocolate chips on top of each crust.
Make Filling: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Evenly divide the filling among the muffin cups over the crust and blueberry-chocolate layer.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set. Allow them to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
Prepare Topping: Mix sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, spoon the sour cream mixture over the tops of each cheesecake. Garnish with additional blueberries and white chocolate shavings for a decorative touch.
Chill: Refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld and the texture set.
Serving Tips:
Serve Chilled: These cupcakes are best enjoyed cold, right out of the refrigerator. The creamy texture and flavors are most satisfying when they are well-chilled.
Garnish Before Serving: Add extra blueberries and white chocolate shavings just before serving to ensure they look fresh and appealing.
Portion Control: Use a cupcake liner to make it easier to serve individual portions and to keep them neat on a platter.
Pair with Beverages: Complement the rich flavors of these cupcakes with a glass of sparkling water, a light white wine, or a cup of tea.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Store the cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should be kept cold to maintain their texture and flavor.
Shelf Life: These cupcakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. After that, they may start to lose their freshness.
Freezing: If you need to store them for a longer period, you can freeze the cupcakes. Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag, separating layers with parchment paper to avoid sticking. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Thawing: To enjoy frozen cupcakes, transfer them to the refrigerator and allow them to thaw overnight before serving. Avoid thawing at room temperature to prevent condensation on the toppings.

FAQs:
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries in this recipe. Make sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess moisture before adding them to the cupcakes to avoid soggy results. Lightly toss the thawed blueberries in a bit of flour to help prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
Can I make these cupcakes in advance?
Absolutely! These cupcakes can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. If you plan to make them further in advance, consider freezing them as outlined in the storage tips, then thawing them in the refrigerator before serving.
What can I use as a substitute for graham cracker crumbs?
If you don’t have graham cracker crumbs, you can use crushed digestive biscuits or vanilla wafer cookies as an alternative. Both options will give you a similar sweet and crumbly crust. Adjust the sugar amount if needed based on the sweetness of the substitute.
Can I use low-fat cream cheese for this recipe?
Yes, you can use low-fat cream cheese in place of regular cream cheese. However, be aware that low-fat cream cheese may affect the texture and richness of the filling. The cupcakes may not be as creamy as those made with full-fat cream cheese, but they will still be delicious.
