How to Make Luscious Raspberry Cheesecake Cupcakes
Prepare the Cupcake Base:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form an even layer.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar, mixing until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth.
Prepare the Raspberry Swirl:
In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the mixture begins to break down and thicken. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Assemble the Cupcakes:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust in each cupcake liner, filling about 2/3 full. Drop spoonfuls of the raspberry mixture on top of the cheesecake filling, and use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl it in.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve:
Once cooled, refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy your Luscious Raspberry Cheesecake Cupcakes!
Tips:
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
- For a sweeter raspberry topping, adjust the sugar according to your taste.
Substitutions and Variations:
- Use other berries, such as blueberries or strawberries, for a different flavor.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter filling.
Make a Healthier Version:
- Use low-fat cream cheese and sugar substitutes for a lighter cheesecake.
- Consider using almond flour for the crust for added nutrition.
