Print Recipe

Creamy, luscious, and perfectly portioned, these Mini Crème Brûlée Cheesecakes combine silky cheesecake with a crackly caramelized sugar topping the ultimate bite-sized dessert for any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 vanilla wafer cookies (or graham crackers, crushed)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp superfine sugar (for caramelizing tops)

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  • 2. Combine crushed wafers with melted butter and press 1 tbsp of the mixture into the bottom of each liner.
  • 3. Beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  • 4. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream, vanilla, and salt until fully combined.
  • 5. Divide batter evenly among the cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  • 6. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until centers are just set.
  • 7. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • 8. Before serving, sprinkle each cheesecake with about 1/4 tsp sugar and caramelize with a kitchen torch until golden and crisp.

Notes

  • For best texture, use full-fat cream cheese and let all ingredients come to room temperature.
  • Chill cheesecakes before torching to keep the filling firm.
  • You can top with a raspberry or mint leaf for garnish.
