Description

Indulge in the rich and creamy fusion of Crème Brûlée and Cheesecake with these delightful Crème Brûlée Cheesecake Cupcakes. A perfect combination of velvety cheesecake filling, crunchy brûlée topping, and a buttery graham cracker crust in a convenient cupcake form.


Ingredients

Scale

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 23 tablespoons granulated sugar for brûlée topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners. Mix graham cracker crumbs, 2 tbsp sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into each liner and bake for 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/2 cup sugar, then eggs one at a time. Mix in sour cream, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  3. Fill and bake: Divide filling among liners and bake for 18–22 minutes until set. Cool, then chill for at least 4 hours.
  4. Brûlée topping: Sprinkle sugar over each cheesecake and caramelize with a torch. Let sit before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use a kitchen torch for the brûlée topping. If you don’t have one, broil briefly in the oven while watching closely.
  • You can also add a hint of citrus zest to the filling for extra brightness.
