Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 tbsp raspberry jam

Raspberry Compote:

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 tbsp cold water

Directions:

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. Prepare Crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust.
  3. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract and sour cream. Mix until well combined.
  4. Add Raspberries and Jam: Gently fold in fresh raspberries and raspberry jam into the cheesecake mixture, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fill and Bake: Spoon the cheesecake mixture into the cupcake liners, filling each one almost to the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Make Raspberry Compote: While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the raspberry compote. In a saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the berries break down and release their juices. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir until the compote thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
  7. Top and Serve: Once the cupcakes are cool, spoon raspberry compote over each cupcake and garnish with additional fresh raspberries if desired.
