Mini Crème Brûlée Cheesecakes: The Ultimate Elegant Treat

Intro If you love desserts that are both creamy and crispy, these Mini Crème Brûlée Cheesecakes are your dream come true! Blending the lusciousness of a classic cheesecake with the iconic caramelized sugar crust of a crème brûlée, this treat offers elegance and indulgence in every bite. They’re easy to make, perfectly portioned, and guaranteed to impress—whether it’s for a dinner party or a quiet evening at home.

Why You’ll Love These Cheesecakes

  • Creamy, smooth cheesecake base
  • Crunchy, golden brûlée sugar topping
  • Simple ingredients with gourmet results
  • Great make-ahead dessert
  • Individual servings make them perfect for entertaining

Ingredients

For the Crust:

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

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

For the Brûlée Topping:

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep:
    • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
    • Line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
  2. Make the Crust:
    • Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.
    • Press firmly into the bottom of each liner.
    • Bake for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  3. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
    • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
    • Stir in vanilla and heavy cream until smooth.
  4. Fill & Bake:
    • Divide the cheesecake filling among the liners, about ¾ full.
    • Bake for 18-20 minutes, until just set but slightly jiggly in the center.
    • Cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  5. Caramelize the Tops:
    • Once chilled, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar on each cheesecake.
    • Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crisp.
    • Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Success

  • Room temperature ingredients blend better for a silky texture.
  • Don’t overbake. A slight jiggle in the center is perfect.
  • No kitchen torch? Use the broiler briefly, but keep a close eye!

Serving Suggestions

  • Top with fresh berries for a burst of color and freshness.
  • Serve with a side of espresso or cappuccino.
  • Garnish with mint or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Storage

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze (without topping): Wrap individually and store up to 1 month. Add the brûlée topping after thawing.

FAQs

Can I make them ahead? Yes! Make them up to 2 days in advance. Add the sugar topping just before serving.

Do I need a torch? It’s preferred for best results, but the broiler can work in a pinch.

Can I use different crusts? Definitely! Try chocolate wafers or gluten-free graham crackers for a twist.


Final Thoughts Mini Crème Brûlée Cheesecakes are the perfect blend of simplicity and sophistication. With their rich texture, creamy flavor, and crisp topping, they offer a dessert experience that’s truly unforgettable. Go ahead—treat yourself and your guests to this little slice of heaven!
