Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and fresh blueberries with a spatula, taking care not to overmix.
Cheesecake Filling
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag.
Assembling Cupcakes
- Spoon a tablespoon of cupcake batter into each lined muffin cup, filling them about halfway.
- Add a dollop of cream cheese filling in the center and top with more batter until each cup is about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting
- Whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, then swirl in blueberry jam.
- Pipe the whipped blueberry frosting on top of each cupcake and garnish with fresh blueberries.

Notes
Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and avoid overmixing the batter for fluffy cupcakes.
