Ingredients
Before we dive into the delightful depths of this cupcake adventure, let’s gather our ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need to create these Elegant White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcakes:
For the Cupcakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup white chocolate, melted
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)
For the Topping:
- Whipped cream
- Fresh blueberries
- White chocolate shavings or curls (optional)
Steps to Make Elegantly Delicious Cupcakes
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
Prepare the Cupcake Batter: In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until combined. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Fill the Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling them about halfway full.
-
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and melted white chocolate until smooth. Add the egg, sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
-
Cheesecake Surprise: Spoon the cheesecake mixture on top of the cupcake batter in each liner. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the cheesecake into the batter if you like—this gives a lovely marbled effect!
-
Bake: Place the tin in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.
-
Top it Off: Once cooled, top each cupcake with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of blueberries, and a few white chocolate shavings for that elegant touch. Voilà, you have your stylish and scrumptious cupcakes!
Cooking Tips to Make Life Easier
- Don’t skip the cooling step! Allowing your cupcakes to cool completely before frosting helps prevent your whipped cream from melting and makes for a perfect topping.
- Looking to get a little fancy? Try adding a splash of lemon zest to the cheesecake filling for a refreshing zing!
- If you’re short on time, you can always use store-bought whipped cream—no one will judge you!
