Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 whole vanilla bean split and seeds scraped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for topping

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing Bowls
  • kitchen torch

Method
 

Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 325?F (160?C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Use the back of a spoon to compact the crumbs.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla bean seeds, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in each cupcake liner, filling them about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are slightly puffed. Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
  6. Just before serving, sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of sugar evenly over the top of each cupcake. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it melts and turns a deep amber color. Let the sugar harden for a few minutes.
  7. Serve these delightful Vanilla Bean Cr?me Br?l?e Cheesecake Cupcakes chilled.

Notes

These cupcakes can be customized with citrus zest or chocolate chips for added flavor. For the creamiest texture, ensure cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. Use a kitchen torch carefully to achieve the perfect caramelized sugar crust.
