Spoon the mixture evenly into 12 cupcake cases placed in a cupcake tin. Bake for 15 minutes, then leave to cool on a wire rack. Meanwhile, mix the soft cheese, icing sugar and berries together in a food processor until smooth.
When the cupcakes are cool, place a small teaspoonful of icing on top of each one and finish off with a whole raspberry or blackberry.
