Step-by-Step Guide
- Prepare the Crust:
Mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter and a touch of sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom of cupcake liners to form the crust. - Make the Cheesecake Filling:
Blend cream cheese, sugar, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. - Assemble and Bake:
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the liners, filling them almost to the top. Add a spoonful of blueberries on top for a burst of flavor and visual appeal. Bake at 325°F (160°C) until the centers are just set. - Chill:
After baking, allow the cupcakes to cool before refrigerating them for at least 4 hours. This chilling time helps the flavors meld and gives the cheesecake its signature texture. - Decorate and Serve:
Top each cupcake with fresh blueberries, lime zest, or even a dollop of whipped cream for extra flair.
Tips for Success 🌟
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can introduce too much air, leading to cracks in your cheesecake.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
- Line the Pan: Use cupcake liners to make removing the cheesecakes a breeze.
