Description
Individual New York style cheesecakes topped with a crisp, caramelized sugar shell just like a classic crème brûlée.
Ingredients
-
1 cup graham cracker crumbs.
-
3 tbsp melted butter.
-
16 oz softened cream cheese.
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar.
-
2 large eggs.
-
1 tsp vanilla extract.
-
1/4 cup heavy cream.
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar for topping.
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325°F and line a muffin tin with 12 liners.
-
Mix crumbs and butter then press one tablespoon into each liner bottom.
-
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth then add eggs one at a time.
-
Stir in vanilla and heavy cream then divide batter among the liners.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes until the edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
-
Cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
-
Sprinkle sugar on chilled tops and caramelize with a kitchen torch before serving.
Notes
-
Ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature for a lump-free batter.
-
Use a kitchen torch rather than a broiler for the best sugar crust results.
-
Torch the sugar just before serving to maintain the crunchy texture.
