Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp vanilla bean paste (or extract)
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (for brûlée crust)
  • Caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine graham crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press into cupcake liners and bake at 325°F (165°C) for 5 minutes.
  2. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in sour cream, flour, vanilla, and salt.
  3. Pour the filling over crusts and bake for 18–20 minutes. Let them cool completely.
  4. Chill cupcakes for at least 2 hours. Sprinkle brown sugar on top and torch it lightly for the brûlée crust.
  5. Drizzle with caramel and serve chilled or slightly warm.

Notes

  • Use vanilla bean paste for richer flavor.
  • Chilling is essential for texture.
  • Torch sugar carefully to avoid burning.
