Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

- Line a muffin tin with paper liners and press about 1 tablespoon of the crust mixture into the bottom of each liner, compacting it firmly.

Bake the Crust:

- Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

- Add in the vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.

- Then, add the eggs one at a time, blending after each addition. Finally, mix in the heavy cream until the mixture is creamy and smooth.

Assemble the Mini Cheesecakes:

- Carefully spoon the cheesecake filling into each muffin liner on top of the cooled crusts, filling them about 3/4 full.

- Smooth the tops gently with a spatula.

Bake the Cheesecakes:

- Bake the mini cheesecakes in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

- Once done, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecakes inside for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let them cool to room temperature.

Chill:

- Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.

Brûlée the Topping:

- Just before serving, sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of sugar on top of each cheesecake.

- Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown. If you don’t have a torch, you can also place them under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Serve:

- Allow the new caramelized tops to cool for a minute, then garnish with fresh berries or mint if desired. Serve immediately for the perfect mini indulgence!
