Strawberry Cheesecake Red Velvet Cupcakes: Decadent, Festive, and Irresistible

These cupcakes are best enjoyed the same day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Let the cupcakes come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
Variations:

Add Fruit: For a fresh twist, try adding diced strawberries directly into the batter for an extra burst of flavor.
Swap Jam for Fresh Strawberries: Use fresh chopped strawberries in the cheesecake filling instead of strawberry jam for a more natural taste.
FAQ:

Can I make these cupcakes in advance? Yes, you can make the cupcakes a day ahead and store them in an airtight container. Frost them just before serving.

Can I use regular food coloring instead of gel? Yes, but gel food coloring provides a more vibrant color, so it’s preferred for this recipe.
