Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 16 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for brûlée topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of each liner.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in vanilla bean paste and heavy cream until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crusts in the muffin tin.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until set. Let cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, sprinkle sugar evenly over the tops and use a kitchen torch to caramelize until golden brown.
  8. Allow to cool again before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cupcakes cool completely before adding the sugar topping for caramelizing.
  • Using a kitchen torch gives the best caramelization, but a broiler can be used cautiously.
