Cheesecake Cupcakes
Description
These Cheesecake Cupcakes start with a cream cheese batter beaten smooth with sugar, vanilla, and multiple eggs to build a stable structure. After spooning the mixture into foil-lined muffin cups, the cupcakes bake slowly at 300°F until set but moist, confirmed by a clean toothpick. A topping mixture of sour cream, sugar, and vanilla is spooned on and baked again briefly to form a creamy cap. Once cooled, the cupcakes receive a spoonful of cherry pie filling that adds a sweet, fruity finish contrasting with the rich cheesecake. The foil liners support the soft batter during baking and make serving easy.
The cupcakes can be refrigerated to maintain freshness and served chilled or at room temperature, appealing as a single-serving dessert alternative.
Ingredients
- 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese softened
- 1½ cups sugar divided
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract divided
- 5 egg
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1½ cups cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Spoon into foil-lined muffin cups
- Bake for 25-30 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Cool for at least 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine sour cream, remaining sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spoon on top of cupcakes. Bake for an additional 6-8 minutes, until set. Cool for 10 minutes before moving to wire racks to cool.
- Top with pie filling. ENJOY! Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Add a graham cracker crust by pressing a mixture of graham crumbs, sugar, and melted butter into liners and baking before adding batter.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 5–7 days to maintain texture.
- Freeze individual cupcakes wrapped in plastic for up to 4 months; flash freeze topping first to preserve pie filling integrity.
