Berry Cheesecake Muffins
Berry Cheesecake Muffins are light and fluffy with a burst of berry and a creamy cheesecake center.
The perfect way to celebrate the weekend. These Berry Cheesecake Muffins freeze beautifully too! Tuck some away in the freezer for out of town guests. I made these for a brunch. I love the little added sweetness from the berries paired with the cinnamon. They reminded me of berry cobbler.
These muffins are also perfect for Memorial Day or 4th of July. You know….red, white and blue? 😉
