Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- For the Cheesecake:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/2 cup blueberries
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven
Fire up your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners to prepare for the delightful treats ahead.
2. Prepare the crust
In a bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to create a solid base.
3. Make the cheesecake mixture
In a separate bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese and sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add in the egg, vanilla extract, orange zest, and fresh orange juice. Mix until well combined and luscious.
4. Fold in the blueberries
Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the cheesecake mixture, taking care not to burst them to preserve their juicy flavor.
5. Assemble the cupcakes
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust in each cupcake liner, filling them with the fluffy goodness.
6. Bake the cupcakes
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cupcakes are set and lightly golden. Once done, let them cool to room temperature before transferring to the fridge.
7. Chill for perfect flavor
Allow the cheesecake cupcakes to chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours to let the flavors meld together beautifully.
8. Final touches
Before serving, top each cupcake with extra blueberries and a sprinkle of orange zest for an added pop of flavor and color.
