Ingredients
-
Blueberry Bourbon Ginger Jam
2 cups plain greek yogurt
8oz package of cream cheese
1 cup coconut sugar
3 eggs
2 Tsp of vanilla extract
A pinch of cinnamon and salt
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
4 tablespoons butter
Fresh Blueberries
Directions
Preheating your oven to 325°.
To make crust: Line a muffin tin with paper cups or grease well. Then make your crust by combing 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs & 4 Tbsp of butter. Mix well & then place about 2 Tbsp of the crumbs on the bottom of each muffin. Next bake the crust for 5 minutes & let it cool.
To make the filling: Add 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt, 1 package (8 ounces) of cream cheese (room temperature) & 1 cup of coconut sugar to a food processor & mix until smooth (1-2 minutes). Next add in 3 eggs, 2 Tsp of vanilla extract, a pinch of cinnamon & salt. Mix until batter is smooth (1-2 minutes). Then place 1/3 cup of filling on top of the cooled crust. Once each muffin cup is filled, put them in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust are golden brown. Let them cool completely before removing them from the muffin tin, and then refrigerate for an additional hour before adding the blueberry topping.
To make the blueberry topping: Combine 1 cup of fresh blueberries with one cup of Blueberry Bourbon Ginger Jam & heat on low heat for 2 minutes. Top each muffin with a spoonful of the blueberry mix & serve!
