Ingredients
  

1 cup digestive biscuits (or graham crackers), crushed

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons light brown sugar (for the brûlée topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits with melted butter and mix until evenly moistened.

    Form the Crust: Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Evenly distribute the biscuit mixture into the bottom of each liner, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and allow to cool.

      Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix until well combined and creamy.

        Fill the Cups: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crusts, filling each liner about three-quarters full.

          Bake the Cheesecakes: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set in the center (a slight jiggle is okay).

            Chill: Remove the cheesecakes from the oven and let them cool at room temperature. Once cooled, transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

              Brûlée the Tops: Just before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of light brown sugar evenly over the top of each cheesecake. Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it bubbles and turns golden brown. If you don’t have a torch, you can place them under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

                Serve: Allow the tops to cool for a minute before serving.

                    - Presentation Tips: Serve the mini cheesecakes on a decorative platter, and consider garnishing with berries or mint leaves for an aesthetic touch.
