These creamy, fruity cupcakes are a delightful blend of flavors, perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 2 tbsp honey (for peach topping)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tsp water (optional for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until it resembles wet sand; press into liners.
  3. Beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy, then mix in honey, eggs, and vanilla, followed by sour cream, flour, and salt.
  4. Spoon the cheesecake mixture into each liner, filling them about ¾ full, and bake for 18-20 minutes.
  5. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Mix diced peaches, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla in a saucepan, and optionally add cornstarch; cook until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Top cooled cupcakes with the peach mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Notes

Try adding a mint leaf or a drizzle of honey for garnish before serving.
