Paula Deen's Cheesecake Cupcake


Hello cupcakes! Today I will be sharing with you this delicious cheesecake recipe. This recipe is Paula Deen's. I'm not sure about you guys but I love any and every of Paula's recipes. I've never been disappointed by one especially not this one! 



Tips:
The recipe calls for butter extract, I know not too many people have butter extract laying around. You can either substitute the butter extract for melted butter or if you want the cheese cake to have more of a sweeter taste you can use vanilla extract.

When it comes to the baking part, bake these for exactly 20 minutes. I am no cheesecake expert so I wasn't sure what to look for, I left them in for exactly 20 minutes and they came out perfect!

You can top these cheesecakes off with whatever you want! Berries tasted super yummy and fresh!
