Ingredients

for 12 cheesecakes

Biscuit Base

2 cups
digestive biscuit (200 g)
½ cup
butter, melted (95 g)

Cheesecake Filling

14 oz
cream cheese (400 g)
¼ cup
sour cream (50 g)
¾ cup
sugar (150 g)
3 eggs
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract

Crème Brûlée Topping

1 teaspoon
sugar, per cheesecake

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Smash the digestives in a bag with a rolling pin until they become fine crumbs. Alternatively you can use a food processor.
Pour in a bowl and combine with the melted butter.
Distribute the biscuit base evenly into a greased cupcake tray. Each tray should be ¼ full with the biscuit base.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Prepare the cheesecake filling by whipping the cream cheese and sour cream together.
Whisk in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
Remove cupcake tray from the oven and top each biscuit base with the filling.
Bake for 18 minutes and then allow to cool.
For the crème brûlée topping, scatter on a teaspoon of sugar over each cheesecake.
Ensure the sugar is evening distributed and any excess is knocked off.
Using a blow torch, carefully melt the sugar using swirling motions until bubbling and caramelized. Leave to cool for 2 minutes for the sugar to cool and harden.
Enjoy!

They all cracked at the top for me, so don’t overmix when the egg is added; BUT since is brûléed, it doesn’t matter. Amazing!!

Ok so..... they were good. But, I ended up using graham crackers instead of digestive biscuits. And I don’t have a blow torch so I put the cheesecakes under the broiler and regretted it. The cheesecakes burned and the sugar didn’t really caramelize. The cheesecakes were delicious, but I’m just disappointed.

I used Oreos instead of digestive biscuits and it turned out great! The cheesecake has a weird texture though.
