Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until it resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of each liner and bake for 5 minutes.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese and ½ cup sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Incorporate vanilla extract and heavy cream until fully combined.
  4. Pour cheesecake batter into crusts until ¾ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes until edges are set but center is jiggly.
  5. Allow cheesecakes to cool until room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  6. Sprinkle granulated sugar over chilled cheesecakes and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown.
