Ingredients
  

For the cupcake base
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the cheesecake filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)
For the white chocolate ganache
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the sour cream and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  7. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined; gently fold in the blueberries.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Fill each cupcake liner with 1 tablespoon of the cupcake batter, followed by 1 generous tablespoon of the cheesecake filling on top.
  2. Finish with another tablespoon of the batter and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Ganache Preparation
  1. While the cupcakes cool, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly before drizzling over the cooled cupcakes.
Finishing Touch
  1. Garnish with extra blueberries and enjoy!

Notes

If the cupcakes sink a little after baking, don’t fret—they’ll still taste divine! Feel free to use store-bought cheesecake filling to save time. They can also be made ahead of time and frozen; just reheat slightly in the microwave before serving.
