Ingredients
Here’s what you will need to make these scrumptious cupcakes:
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup raspberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Raspberry Swirled Cheesecake Cupcakes:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until well mixed. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating until just combined. Finally, stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to mush them too much.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in each cupcake liner, filling them about three-quarters full. Use a spoon to swirl in a bit of raspberry sauce for a decorative touch.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are set. The centers may still be a bit soft but will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. For the best flavor, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
These Raspberry Swirled Cheesecake Cupcakes are a delightful treat that combines the best of both worlds—creamy cheesecake and a burst of fruity raspberry goodness. Enjoy every bite, and impress your guests with this delicious dessert!
