Best 3 Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake Cupcakes Recipes

RASPBERRY SWIRL CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line cupcake pans with paper liners. In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar. Stir together with a fork until well blended and all the dry ingredients are moistened. Press 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner. (you can use a small drinking glass to easily and evenly press the crumbs down) Bake until just set, 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.
• To make the raspberry puree, combine the raspberries and sugar in a blender or food processor. Process until smooth, then pour through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
• To make the cheesecake, beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer until fluffy. Blend in the sugar until smooth. Mix in the salt and vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• To assemble, spoon 3 tablespoons of the cheesecake batter over the crust in each cupcake liner. Dot a ½ teaspoon of the raspberry puree in a few dots over the cheesecake filling. Use a toothpick or a wooden skewer to lightly swirl and create a marbled effect.
• Bake until the filling is set, about 22 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through baking. (They will look quite puffed initially but will return to normal quickly.) Transfer to a wire cooling rack and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to the refrigerator and let chill for at least 4 hours before serving.

MINI RASPBERRY SWIRL CHEESECAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 16 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Crumble the prepared graham cracker crust; evenly distribute crumbs into the bottom of the prepared muffin cups. Press crumbs down to create a firmer crust.
• Blend cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar and mix until well blended. Mix in vanilla and salt. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until blended.
• Distribute cream cheese mixture evenly among the muffin cups; it should be about 3 tablespoons for each cup. Add 1/2 teaspoon raspberry puree on top of each cheesecake. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the puree to create a marble design on each one.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
• Refrigerate before serving.

CHEESECAKE CUPCAKES WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• Melt butter and mix with graham cracker crumbs. Place that mixture into cupcake liners to form the cheesecake crust.
• Using a mixer, beat ricotta cheese until smooth. Add in the cream cheese and the confectioner's sugar, a little at a time, and blend until smooth.
• Finally, add the eggs and blend until smooth.
• Spoon the mixture into the cupcake liners with the graham cracker crusts. Bake these for 25 minutes.
• While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the sauce. Add raspberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice to a small food processor. Puree the raspberries until smooth.
• After baking, allow cupcakes to cool for five minutes in the pan before removing them to a baker's rack to cool for an additional 5 minutes. Then spoon the raspberry sauce on top.
• Keep cooled until ready to serve. They look and taste best just a few hours after baking, but they will last for about 3 days covered in the refrigerator.
• Additional toppings to consider: white or semi-sweet chocolate chips, coconut flakes, blueberries, fresh raspberries.
