Method
 

Preparation of Mini Crème Brûlée Cheesecakes
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment.
  2. In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers with melted unsalted butter, then press firmly into the bottoms of mini cheesecake pans.
  3. Bake the crusts for about 10 minutes until golden and fragrant, then remove and let cool.
  4. Beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in sour cream, vanilla, and eggs one at a time gently.
  5. Pour the filling into the crust-lined pans, filling each three-quarters full. Bake for approximately 40 minutes until edges are set.
  6. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecakes to cool for about 30 minutes.
  7. Transfer the cooled cheesecakes to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill.
  8. Sprinkle sugar over the tops and caramelize using a kitchen torch or under the broiler.
  9. Let the caramelized sugar harden briefly before serving.
