 Instructions

 1. Make the blueberry swirl

  1. In a small saucepan, combine:

    • 1 cup blueberries

    • 2 tbsp sugar

    • 1 tsp lemon juice

  2. Heat over medium until berries soften and burst (5–6 minutes).

  3. Stir in cornstarch mixture and simmer 1–2 minutes until thickened.

  4. Let cool completely.

 2. Preheat & prep the pan

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

  • Line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.

  • Set aside.

 3. Prepare the graham cracker crust

  1. In a bowl, mix:

    • Graham cracker crumbs

    • Sugar

    • Melted butter

  2. Spoon 1 tablespoon of crust mixture into each cupcake liner.

  3. Press down firmly using the bottom of a glass.

  4. Bake crusts for 5 minutes, then let cool while you make the filling.

 4. Make the cheesecake filling

  1. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

  2. Add sugar and sour cream; mix until combined.

  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed.

  4. Stir in vanilla and cooled melted white chocolate.

  5. Do not overmix — this keeps the texture silky.

 5. Assemble

  1. Spoon the cheesecake batter over the crusts, filling each cup about ¾ full.

  2. Add ½–1 teaspoon of blueberry sauce on top of each cupcake.

  3. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl gently into the batter.

 6. Bake

  • Bake at 325°F for 18–20 minutes, or until centers are set but still slightly jiggly.

  • Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let cupcakes sit for 5–10 minutes to reduce cracking.

  • Remove and cool on a wire rack for 1 hour.

 7. Chill & serve

  • Refrigerate cheesecakes for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight).

  • Remove from liners before serving for a clean look.

  • Garnish with fresh blueberries, white chocolate curls, or whipped cream if desired.
