How to Make Mini Crème Brûlée Cheesecake Bites
Oh my goodness, these Mini Crème Brûlée Cheesecake Bites are simply irresistible! They’re the perfect treat for a dinner party or just a cozy dessert night at home. With the rich, creamy filling and that satisfying crunchy caramel top, they’ll definitely impress your friends and family!
What You’ll Need:
- Graham cracker crumbs – 1 cup. You can crush your own from whole crackers, but store-bought works just fine too!
- Granulated sugar – 1/4 cup for the crust and 1/2 cup for the filling, plus another 1/4 cup for caramelizing. I like using organic sugar; it gives a cleaner taste.
- Unsalted butter – 1/3 cup, melted. Always go for unsalted so you can control the sweetness!
- Cream cheese – 16 oz, softened. I prefer Philadelphia Cream Cheese for its smooth texture!
- Large eggs – 2. Bring them to room temperature for a fluffier filling!
- Vanilla extract – 1 tsp. Pure vanilla extract is my go-to for the best flavor.
- Heavy cream – 1/4 cup. Horizon Organic heavy cream really enhances the creaminess here.
- Fresh raspberries and mint leaves – for optional garnish. These add a lovely pop of color and freshness!
