White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcakes

There’s something magical about the combination of creamy white chocolate, tangy blueberries, and velvety cheesecake—all nestled in a delicate cupcake. These little treats are perfect for afternoon tea, a special celebration, or just because you deserve something sweet. Let’s gather our ingredients and bake up some joy!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs – The buttery, slightly sweet base that gives these cupcakes their signature cheesecake crust. If you’re feeling fancy, you can swap in digestive biscuits for a slightly different texture.
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted – This binds the crust together. I always use unsalted butter so I can control the saltiness of the final dessert.
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened – Full-fat is best here for that rich, luscious texture. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes—no one likes lumpy cheesecake filling!
• ½ cup granulated sugar – Just enough to sweeten the filling without overpowering the other flavors.
• 2 large eggs – Room temperature eggs blend more smoothly into the batter, creating a silky consistency.
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract – A splash of vanilla enhances the white chocolate and blueberry flavors beautifully.
• ½ cup white chocolate chips, melted – Use high-quality white chocolate for the best taste. Cheap versions can be overly sweet and waxy.
• 1 cup fresh blueberries – Bursting with juicy tartness, these little gems balance the sweetness of the cheesecake. Frozen blueberries work too—just toss them in a bit of flour first to prevent sinking.
• Pinch of salt – A tiny pinch elevates all the flavors and keeps the dessert from tasting flat.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners—I love using parchment paper liners for easy removal.
2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press about 1 ½ tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner, using the back of a spoon to compact it firmly. This will be your cheesecake’s delicious foundation!
3. Whip the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well incorporated.
4. Add Eggs & Flavor: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and melted white chocolate, blending until the mixture is silky and uniform.
5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix—you want those berries to stay whole for little bursts of flavor in every bite.

Now, we’re ready to fill and bake! But before we move on, here’s a little tip: If you want to prevent cracks in your cheesecake cupcakes, place a shallow pan of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking. The steam helps create a smooth, flawless surface.

Conclusion

These White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcakes are a dreamy blend of creamy cheesecake, sweet white chocolate, and bursts of juicy blueberries. Perfect for special occasions or just because, they’re surprisingly simple to make yet look and taste like they came straight from a bakery. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is sure to impress.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Absolutely! Frozen blueberries work just fine, but be sure to thaw and pat them dry before folding them into the batter to avoid excess moisture.

How do I store these cupcakes?

Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them (without toppings) for up to 2 months—just thaw in the fridge before serving.

Can I substitute the white chocolate?

If you’re not a fan of white chocolate, you can swap it for dark or milk chocolate, though the flavor profile will change slightly. Alternatively, omit it entirely and add a touch more vanilla extract.

Why did my cheesecake cupcakes crack?

Cracking usually happens due to overmixing or sudden temperature changes. To prevent this, avoid overbeating the batter and let the cupcakes cool gradually in the turned-off oven with the door slightly ajar.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes! Simply use gluten-free graham crackers or cookies for the crust, and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.
