Scale

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.

  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  5. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in each liner.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.

  9. Sprinkle with brown sugar and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden.

Notes

  • For a smoother cheesecake, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
  • Be careful not to over-bake the cupcakes to maintain a creamy texture.
