Blackberry Lime Cheesecake Cupcakes are a delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of cheesecake with the citrus zing of lime and the sweetness of blackberries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup blackberry jam
  • 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Zest of 1 lime (for garnish)
  • Extra blackberries and lime zest for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Prepare the crust: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form a crust.
  3. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lime juice.
  4. Assemble the cupcakes: Spoon a tablespoon of blackberry jam onto each crust, then fill the cupcake liners with the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is just set. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
  6. Prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cupcakes.
  7. Garnish: Top each cupcake with fresh blackberries, extra blackberry jam, and lime zest for garnish.
  8. Chill: Chill the cupcakes for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

  • Ensure that your cream cheese is softened at room temperature to achieve a smooth and creamy filling.
  • Don’t rush the chilling process; letting the cupcakes chill for at least 2 hours helps set the cheesecake filling and enhances the flavor.
  • When zesting the lime, be careful not to grate too deeply into the pith to avoid a bitter taste.
