Mini Crème Brûlée Cheesecakes

Delicate mini cheesecakes with a creamy texture and a caramelized sugar topping, inspired by classic crème brûlée.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar (for topping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with parchment liners.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press 1 tbsp of mixture into each liner to form the crust.
  3. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and sour cream.
  4. Divide batter evenly among liners. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  5. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  6. Sprinkle turbinado sugar evenly over each cheesecake. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crisp.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste.
