Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

For the Crème Brûlée Topping:

2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for caramelizing)

Fresh berries or mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

    Make the crust:

      - In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs resemble wet sand.

        - Press about a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each mini cheesecake mold or cupcake liner to form an even base.

          Prepare the cheesecake filling:

            - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until creamy and smooth.

              - Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, blending until fully incorporated.

                - Mix in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

                  - Pour in the heavy cream and flour, mixing until just combined (do not overmix).

                    Fill the molds:

                      - Carefully spoon the cheesecake filling over the crusts, filling each mold about 3/4 full.

                        Bake:

                          - Place the filled molds on a baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are set. The center may still jiggle slightly but will firm up as it cools.

                            - Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.

                              Brûlée the tops:

                                - Once chilled, evenly sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar over the top of each cheesecake bite.

                                  - Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it forms a crisp, golden layer. Alternatively, you can place them under a broiler for about 1-2 minutes but watch closely to prevent burning.

                                    Serve:

                                      - Allow the sugar to harden for a minute before serving. Garnish with fresh berries or mint leaves if desired. Enjoy your delightful Mini Crème Brûlée Cheesecake Bites!
