Description

Delicious cupcakes that combine the creamy goodness of cheesecake with the rich charm of crème brûlée, all in a portable form.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • ½ cup sugar (for filling)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs (for filling)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • Granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy, then mix in eggs and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix into the wet ingredients until smooth.
  4. For the cheesecake filling, beat cream cheese until creamy, then add sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla bean paste, blending until smooth.
  5. Once cupcakes have cooled, scoop a little bit out of the center of each and fill with cheesecake mixture.
  6. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 20-25 minutes until firm but slightly jiggly in the middle.
  7. After cooling, sprinkle sugar on top and caramelize using a kitchen torch or broiler.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Monitor cupcakes closely while baking to prevent them from drying out.
