Mini crème brûlée cheesecakes.
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs.
- Three tablespoons of melted butter
- Two teaspoons of granulated sugar
For the cheesecake filling:
- 16 ounces of softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
- Two huge eggs
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- For Brûlée Topping:
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar.
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners for easy removal.
- To make the crust, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a mixing dish. Press firmly into the bottoms of each liner. Bake for 5 minutes and then leave aside to cool.
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing basin, combine cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and heavy cream until smooth.
- Fill and bake the crusts with cheesecake batter, filling each liner about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until firm yet slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool and chill: Allow cheesecakes to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Make the Brûlée Topping: After chilling, sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over each cheesecake. Use a cooking torch to carefully caramelize the sugar until brown and crispy.
- Enjoy the creamy and crispy goodness of these Mini Crème Brûlée Cheesecakes! 🍰
