Ingredients
For the Chocolate Shell
- 2 cups (340 g) milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil, optional
For the Blueberry Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 3/4 cup (110 g) fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons blueberry jam, optional
For Topping
- Extra fresh blueberries
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely smooth. Stir in the coconut oil if desired to make the chocolate easier to spread.
Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Cups
Line a muffin pan with silicone muffin cups or paper liners. Spoon melted chocolate into each cup, spreading it across the bottom and up the sides to create a shell. Chill for 10–15 minutes, then add another thin layer if needed. Refrigerate until firm.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until it forms soft to medium peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Step 4: Add the Blueberries
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and blueberry jam, if using. For a smoother filling, lightly mash a few blueberries before mixing them in.
Step 5: Fill the Chocolate Cups
Carefully spoon the blueberry cheesecake mixture into the chilled chocolate shells, leaving a little room at the top. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
Step 6: Seal the Tops
Spread the remaining melted chocolate over each cup, covering the filling completely. Add a few blueberries on top before the chocolate sets, if desired.
Step 7: Chill Until Firm
Refrigerate the cups for at least 2–3 hours, or until the chocolate is firm and the filling has set. Carefully remove the liners before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing to prevent lumps.
- Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before using it, but do not let it harden.
- Use completely dry blueberries to help prevent excess moisture in the filling.
- For easier removal, silicone muffin cups work especially well.
- Keep the finished cups refrigerated until ready to serve.
Variations
- Dark chocolate version: Use dark chocolate for a richer, less sweet shell.
- Strawberry cheesecake cups: Replace the blueberries with chopped strawberries.
- Mixed berry version: Combine blueberries, raspberries, and finely chopped strawberries.
- Extra chocolate flavor: Add a little melted white chocolate to the filling.
