CREME BRULEE CHEESECAKE CUPS
Crème Brûlée Cheesecake is a delightful dessert that artfully blends two beloved treats into one irresistible creation. This exquisite dessert begins with a buttery biscuit crust, providing a satisfying crunch that perfectly complements the smooth and rich cheesecake filling.
The cheesecake itself is luxuriously creamy, crafted with rich cream cheese, eggs, and a hint of vanilla, offering a velvety texture that melts in your mouth. Topping it all off is a layer of caramelized sugar, achieved by gently torching until it transforms into a glassy, golden crust. This signature topping adds a delightful contrast of textures, combining the soft cheesecake with a satisfying crackle when you dig in.
Each bite of Crème Brûlée Cheesecake is a harmonious marriage of flavors—the sweetness of the caramel, the richness of the cheesecake, and the subtlety of the biscuit crust.
