  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Ensure it's distributed evenly.
  • 2 Eggs Incorporate one at a time for a smooth texture.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract No direct substitutes are recommended.
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream Substitute with half-and-half for a lighter texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a bowl. Press into the bottom of each liner and bake for 5 minutes until golden.
  3. Beat together softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract and heavy cream.
  4. Fill each cupcake liner about three-quarters full with the cheesecake mixture. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the edges are set and the center jiggles.
  5. Cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  6. Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over the tops of the chilled cheesecakes.
  7. Caramelize the sugar with a kitchen torch until it bubbles and turns golden brown.
  8. Let cool for a minute before serving. Best served chilled with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate.
