Mini Crème Brûlée Cheesecakes – A Decadent Twist on a Classic Dessert!

Serve the mini cheesecakes chilled with the caramelized sugar topping just before serving.

Store any leftover mini cheesecakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best to add the crème brûlée topping just before serving to keep it crispy.

Variations:
Berry Topping: Top the mini cheesecakes with fresh berries like raspberries or blueberries for an added touch of freshness.

Chocolate Crust: Use chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos) for the crust for a rich, chocolatey twist.

Coconut Crust: Add shredded coconut to the graham cracker crust for a tropical flavor.

FAQ:
Q: Can I use a different pan if I don’t have mini cheesecake pans?
A: Yes! You can use a muffin tin or individual tart pans as an alternative. Just be sure to line the pans with paper liners or grease them to avoid sticking.

Q: How do I prevent cracks in the cheesecake?
A: To prevent cracks, make sure not to overbake the cheesecakes. They should still have a slight jiggle in the center when you remove them from the oven.

Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! These mini cheesecakes are perfect for making ahead of time. Just refrigerate them until you’re ready to serve, and then caramelize the sugar topping right before serving.
