Yield Makes 48

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 pounds (seven 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, room temperature
2 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
5 large eggs, room temperature
2 16-ounce containers sour cream
1 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Currants (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line four 12-cup cupcake tins with heavyweight aluminum liners, and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down sides as needed.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and flour. With mixer on low speed, gradually add sugar mixture to cream cheese; mix until smooth. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until just combined; do not overmix.
  • Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners, 4 ounces per cupcake. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Cool slightly until cupcakes become concave. In a medium bowl, stir together sour cream, sugar, and vanilla to make the sour cream topping.
  • Place a heaping tablespoon of topping in the center of each cupcake, and spread gently to edges of liner. Return to oven for 10 minutes.
  • Cool to room temperature on a wire rack and chill in the refrigerator until cold, at least two hours. Add small bunches of currants for decoration if desired.

These cupcakes were a complete disaster! The cheesecake filling was runny and the sour cream topping was too thick. I would not recommend this recipe.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never get the cupcakes to rise properly. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

The sour cream topping was a bit too runny for my liking, but the cheesecake itself was very good.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would cut back on the sugar next time.

Easy to make and delicious! I used a store-bought graham cracker crust and it worked just fine.

These cheesecake cupcakes were a hit! The sour cream topping added a nice tanginess that balanced out the sweetness of the cheesecake. I also liked that the cupcakes were not too dense, they had a nice light and fluffy texture.
