Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.

For best results, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth filling. You can easily substitute different berries based on your preference or what’s in season—strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries all work wonderfully!

If you have leftover filling, consider using it as a delightful dip for fresh fruit or as a spread on bagels. These cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To enjoy them at room temperature, just let them sit out for about 30 minutes before serving.
