Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough comes together, forming a soft dough.
Step 3: Press a tablespoon of the dough evenly into the bottom of each muffin cup. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow the crusts to cool completely.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, lime zest, and lime juice until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Once the crusts are cooled, spoon a layer of blueberry preserves over each crust.
Step 6: Pipe the cream cheese mixture on top of the blueberry layer, filling each muffin cup nearly to the top. Spoon any remaining blueberry preserves over the cream cheese layer.
Step 7: Top the cupcakes with a swirl of purple-tinted cream cheese frosting, and garnish with fresh blueberries, lime slices, and lime zest.
Step 8: Refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
