Ingredients

For the Crust:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon lime zest

1 tablespoon lime juice

For the Topping:

1 cup blueberry preserves

1 cup fresh blueberries

1/2 cup purple-tinted cream cheese frosting

Lime slices and zest for garnish

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2: Make the Crust

In a bowl, mix together the flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until a soft dough forms.

Press about 1 tablespoon of the dough into the bottom of each muffin cup.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, lime zest, and lime juice until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Assemble the Cupcakes

Spoon a layer of blueberry preserves over the cooled crust in each muffin cup.

Top with the cream cheese mixture, filling each cup nearly to the top.

Add a small dollop of the remaining blueberry preserves on top of the cream cheese layer.

Step 5: Frost & Garnish

Swirl purple-tinted cream cheese frosting on top of each cupcake.

Garnish with fresh blueberries, lime slices, and lime zest.

Step 6: Chill

Refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors blend together.
