Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
- 9 graham crackers 1 sleeve, finely crushed
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 2 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/3 cup superfine sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Make your graham cracker crust by stirring together crushed graham crackers with sugar and melted butter. Divide crush amongst cupcake liners and press into the bottom.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Beat in vanilla extract, egg, egg yolks, sour cream, and salt. Continue beating until combined and smooth.
- Spoon cheesecake batter into each cupcake liner until 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes until filling is set. Cool completely in the tin before removing.
- After cupcakes have cooled, remove from wrappers. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of super fine sugar on top of each one. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize sugar, or line up on a tray and place under broiler setting in oven. Watch closely, rotating as needed until the sugar is caramelized. Serve chilled.
