Crème Brûlée Cheesecake Cupcakes Recipe

Indulge in these delightful mini cheesecakes that combine the creamy richness of classic cheesecake with the caramelized sugar topping of crème brûlée.

Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes | Chilling Time: 2 hours | Total Time: 2 hours 45 minutes.

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

9 graham crackers, finely crushed (about 1 cup)

¼ cup granulated sugar

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 ounces cream cheese, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 egg yolks

½ cup sour cream

Pinch of salt

For the Brûlée Topping:

⅓ cup superfine sugar

Directions:

Prepare the Crust:

Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner, creating a firm and even crust.

Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Add the eggs and egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Mix in the sour cream and a pinch of salt until the filling is smooth and well combined.

Assemble and Bake:

Divide the cheesecake filling evenly among the prepared crusts in the muffin tin.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set and the edges are slightly puffed.

Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

Brûlée the Topping:

Before serving, remove the cupcakes from the refrigerator.

Evenly sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of superfine sugar over the top of each cupcake.

Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar by moving the flame in small circles over the surface until the sugar melts and turns a deep amber color.

Allow the caramelized sugar to harden for a few minutes before serving.
