Decadent cupcakes combining the rich flavors of cheesecake and the classic dessert experience of creme brulee, topped with a caramelized sugar crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for caramelizing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in heavy cream until the batter is smooth.
  6. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in each liner, filling about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set but slightly jiggly.
  8. Allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  9. Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar on top of each cupcake and use a torch to caramelize it until bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

Make sure to soften cream cheese at room temperature for easier blending. If you don’t have a torch for caramelizing sugar, you can use a broiler instead.
