Raspberry Swirl Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place paper liners in the cups of two standard 12-cup muffin tins, and set aside.
• Stir together cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl. Press 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture firmly onto bottom of each cup in muffin tin. Bake until set, about 5 minutes. Let cool in tins on a wire rack. Leave oven on.
• Process raspberries in a food processor until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pass puree through a fine sieve into a small bowl; discard solids. Whisk in 4 1/2 teaspoons sugar, and set aside.
• Put cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. With mixer on low speed, add remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar in a slow, steady stream. Add salt and vanilla; mix until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing each until just combined (do not overmix). Spoon 3 tablespoons filling into each cup.
• Drop raspberry sauce by the 1/2 teaspoon over cakes. With a wooden skewer or toothpick, swirl sauce into filling.
• Bake until set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely in tins on a wire rack. Refrigerate, uncovered, 1 hour or overnight.

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.
