Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 Eggs
- 1.5 cups Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for blueberry compote)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a standard muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly among the cupcake liners, pressing firmly into the bottom to create a crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and 3/4 cup of sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
To prepare the blueberry compote, combine the blueberries, 1/4 cup of sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the blueberries release their juices and the mixture begins to simmer, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the blueberry compote and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
Once the cheesecake cupcakes are chilled, top each cupcake with a spoonful of blueberry compote.
Serve immediately or store the cupcakes in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
