Happy Friday all! It’s become a tradition to post a sweet treat for the weekend so here it is – Raspberry Cheesecake Cupcakes. Trust me, these are absolutely delicious and a real treat. I love how they combine cheesecake and a cupcake in one perfect bite. Isn’t that amazing? đŸ™‚

I’ve been thinking about a raspberry cheesecake but at the same time wanted to kind of twist it and make it a bit different. And because of my love for cheesecakes and cupcakes, here’s the result – Raspberry Cheesecake Cupcakes. The ingredients are almost the same as for the cheesecake apart from the eggs. And there’s a bit of baking involved (usually I make my cheesecakes without baking). The result is super yummy, fruity and rich cupcakes or shall I say cheesecake cupcakes, not really sure how to call them.

And, of course, these were so simple to make, I’ll be definitely making them a lot, may be even trying some other flavours!

Here’s what you need for these Raspberry Cheesecake Cupcakes.

Ingredients:

  • 500g/1lb Mascarpone
  • 200g/7oz fresh raspberries
  • 300g/10z digestive biscuits, crushed
  • 150g/5oz butter, melted
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup powder sugar
  • 1tbsp flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1tsp vanilla

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/392°F.
  2. Combine the biscuits with melted butter and layer them in a greased muffin tray(make sure you only put as much as to cover the bottom).
  3. In a bowl, combine the mascarpone, sour cream, eggs, sugar, flour and vanilla. Mix until the consistency is smooth enough.
  4. Place 3-4 raspberries and then add the cheesecake mixture on top.
  5. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until ready.
  6. Decorate with some extra raspberries and powder sugar on top, if wished.

Tip: Why not try adding some white chocolate into the cheesecake mixture? Or milk or dark, the one you love most, really. đŸ™‚ That would make these bites pure indulgence!
