Mini Butterscotch Crème Brûlée Cheesecakes are rich, creamy, and perfectly caramelized dessert bites that combine the flavors of butterscotch and classic cheesecake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup butterscotch chips, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Brûlée Topping:
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (for torching)

Instructions

  1. MAKE THE CRUST: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with 9 paper liners. Mix graham crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter until sandy. Press 1 tablespoon into each cup and bake for 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  2. PREP THE CHEESECAKE BATTER: Beat cream cheese and brown sugar until creamy. Add melted butterscotch chips, egg, vanilla, cream, and salt; beat until smooth. Spoon evenly over the crusts.
  3. BAKE GENTLY: Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until centers are just set but still slightly wobbly. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
  4. ADD THE BRÛLÉE MAGIC: Just before serving, sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar evenly over each chilled cheesecake. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize until golden and glassy. (Or place under a broiler for 1–2 minutes, watching closely!)
  5. SERVE & ENJOY: Let the sugar harden for 2–3 minutes, then crack through that perfect top and dive into creamy butterscotch heaven!

Notes

  • Use a water bath if you want extra-smooth cheesecakes.
  • Add a few flakes of sea salt before torching for that salted caramel twist.
  • These freeze beautifully — just brûlée right before serving.
