Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Press into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form a crust and bake for about 5 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, beat cream cheese and ½ cup sugar until smooth. Gradually add eggs, mixing one at a time, then stir in vanilla and heavy cream.
  4. Pour the filling over the crusts, filling about three-quarters full. Bake for 18-20 minutes until edges are set but centers jiggle.
  5. Allow cheesecakes to cool for 30 minutes at room temperature, then chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of sugar on each cheesecake and caramelize with a kitchen torch.
