Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press into the liners to form a crust. Bake for 5 minutes and let cool.
  3. Beat cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract and heavy cream.
  4. Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crusts, filling each liner about ¾ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the edges are set and centers jiggle slightly.
  5. Let the cheesecakes cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  6. Sprinkle granulated sugar over chilled cheesecakes and caramelize using a kitchen torch or under the broiler.
  7. Allow the topping to harden slightly before serving. Enjoy with fresh berries or chocolate sauce.
