Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush graham crackers and combine with melted butter. Press into mini muffin tins to form a crust. Bake for about 10 minutes; cool.
  2. Beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla.
  3. Pour the filling over cooled crusts. Bake in a water bath for 25-30 minutes until edges are set.

  5. Sprinkle granulated sugar on top of each cheesecake and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden.
