- Drop small spoonfuls of blackberry preserves on top of each cupcake. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the preserves into the cheesecake layer.
- Bake and Cool:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the centers are set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 2 hours before serving.
