Equipment

  • oven
  • Cupcake Tin
  • Mixing Bowls
  • mixer
  • Kitchen torch

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup butter, melted

Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar for brûlée topping

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a cupcake tin with liners.
  • In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press the mixture into the bottoms of the liners to form the crust.
  • In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and scraped vanilla bean seeds until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the heavy cream.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about ¾ full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely. Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar on top of each cupcake and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crispy.

Notes

For a more intense vanilla flavor, you can add extra vanilla extract to the batter.
