- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing gently until just combined.
- Stir in the melted white chocolate until smooth, then gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Baking

- Let the cupcakes cool completely in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack.
Frosting
- In a bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy, then gradually add the powdered sugar and melted white chocolate.
- If the mixture is too thick, adjust it with heavy cream to achieve the desired consistency.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, pipe the frosting onto each cupcake, finishing with fresh blueberries.
