- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs

- Zest of 1 lime

- 1/2 cup sour cream
Blackberry Swirl:

Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Place a vanilla wafer cookie in the bottom of each liner.
- Mix Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract, lime zest, lime juice, and sour cream until combined.

Notes
- For a smoother swirl, warm the blackberry preserves slightly before spooning onto the batter.
- These mini cheesecakes freeze well—thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
