Description
Delicious Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée Cheesecake Cupcakes that combine the rich flavors of cheesecake and the classic dessert crème brûlée.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add the sour cream, eggs, vanilla bean paste, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely.
- Once cooled, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form and pipe it onto the cupcakes.
- Sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar on top of the whipped cream and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Use a kitchen torch carefully to avoid burning the sugar.
- These cupcakes can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
