Ingredients
Scale
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in each liner.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the centers are set. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Sprinkle sugar on top of each cooled cupcake and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown.
Allow to cool completely before serving.
Notes
For best results, let the cupcakes chill in the refrigerator after baking for a few hours.
Experiment with different flavors of extracts for a unique twist.
