Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time and mix in the vanilla.
  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture, alternating with buttermilk.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries and white chocolate chips into the batter.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  7. Scoop the cupcake batter into the lined muffin tin, fill halfway, add cheesecake filling, then cover with more batter.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean but slightly moist. Cool completely.
  9. Prepare a blueberry sauce by cooking blueberries with sugar and lemon juice until thickened.
  10. Beat together cream cheese and butter, gradually adding powdered sugar and vanilla to make frosting.
  11. Frost each cupcake and drizzle with blueberry sauce. Garnish with extra blueberries and mint leaves.
  12. Serve and enjoy your White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcakes.
