Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and sugar until evenly mixed. Press into the bottoms of mini cheesecake molds.
  2. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add in sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, blending until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crusts, filling them about ¾ full. Bake for approximately 40 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven and let them cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours.
  6. Just before serving, sprinkle sugar over each cheesecake's surface and caramelize with a kitchen torch or broiler.
