These chocolate and blueberry cupcake sandwiches topped with cream cheese frosting, have blueberries inside and out.

Chocolate Blueberry Cupcake on plate

This cupcake sandwich starts out as a homemade chocolate cupcake that’s made with fresh blueberries.

After it’s baked the chocolate cupcake is cut in half from side to side, then in between the 2 halves, it’s filled with homemade blueberry compote filling and cream cheese frosting.

The blueberry compote filling is easy to make and tastes so good with the chocolate cupcake and cream cheese frosting.
