    Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes are a match made in heaven! Enjoy them the most by adding some strawberries! They are fluffy, fresh and irresistibly delicious!

    It's like eating clouds that taste like cheesecake and strawberries, trust me.

    I'm more of a muffin person than a cupcake girl, not because I'm too lazy to make frosting all the time, but because...well...oh, who am I kidding? I'm too lazy to make frosting. Oh, and health reasons.

    But these, I just couldn't take the idea out of my mind when we bought some super fresh strawberries from the farmers market - they do have really good farmers markets in Istanbul - and I found some cream cheese in the fridge. It just stuck on my mind, calling my name. So, these strawberry cheesecake cupcakes happened.

    I made these cupcake with my maman and we had so much fun in the kitchen! Yes, we are still with my maman and baba and we are having a wonderful time! Oh, and something very exciting happened in our family, too! We are moving to Boston!! Kyle has a job offer from Harvard University and we are so thrilled! We are very grateful for the life we have and I hope everyone's life is sweet, happy and full of beautiful moments!

    All right, let me tell you more about these cupcakes! It's just so much fun to take the middle of the cupcake out and fill it with goodness! The filling is velvety and not overly sweet as I wanted the strawberries to take over the flavor. It may take some time to make these strawberry cheesecake cupcakes but it's totally worth it. Besides, sometimes we need to treat ourselves right? Because life is too short to not have stuffed cupcakes!

      Hello! Is it alright if I use fresh homemade whipped cream if that's not what you meant?
