Crème Brûlée Cheesecake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Mix cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla at medium speed with an electric mixer until well blended. Add the eggs and egg yolk, and mix until thoroughly blended.
• Pour the batter into the graham cracker crust.
• Bake the pie in a 350° oven for 40 minutes or until the center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, heat broiler. Mix together the brown sugar and water. Spread the sugar mixture over the top of the cheesecake. Place the cheesecake on a cookie sheet, and broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until the top is bubbly.

Steps:

• Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press over the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Blend cream cheese, mascarpone, and sugar in a bowl until well combined and smooth. Add egg yolks, ricotta, sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg; mix well until smooth.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Whisk some into the yolk mixture to lighten it. Fold in remaining egg whites with a spatula. Pour over the crust in the pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is set, about 1 hour. Turn off oven and keep cheesecake inside with the door closed, about 1 hour. Open oven door and keep cheesecake inside for 30 minutes more.
• Cool cheesecake to room temperature and chill until firm, 4 hours to overnight.
• Sprinkle raw sugar over the cold cheesecake before serving. Use a creme brulee torch to melt and brown sugar. Allow topping to set and cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add whole eggs and egg yolk; mix until blended. Pour into pie crust.
• Bake 40 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool completely. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.
• Preheat broiler just before serving. Mix brown sugar and water; spread over cheesecake. Place on baking sheet. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until topping is hot and bubbly. Serve immediately. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.

Steps:

• 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!

Steps:

• Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse crackers with granulated sugar and salt until finely ground. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups.) Add butter; pulse until combined. Transfer to a 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom; firmly press into bottom and up sides. Place pan on a baking sheet and bake until crust is dry and set, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
• Filling: Place cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla seeds, and salt in cleaned food processor; blend just until smooth. Fill crust with cheesecake mixture. Bake until filling is just set, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool 1 hour. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve, place 2 tablespoons superfine sugar in a sieve and evenly sift over top of cheesecake (avoiding crust). Move a small kitchen blowtorch back and forth across sugar until caramelized (aiming torch toward center to avoid burning crust). Repeat with remaining 2 tablespoons superfine sugar, making a second caramelized layer. Top with spun sugar and serve, slicing through spun sugar and cake with a sharp knife, and wiping blade between slices.

Steps:

• In a bowl beat together the cream cheese, ½ cup of sugar and sour cream on medium speed until smooth.
• Add the eggs, heavy cream and orange peel; beat until smooth.
• In another bowl, mix until well blended the vanilla wafer crumbs, butter and brown sugar.
• With fingers pat the wafer mixture into a springform pan; top the wafer mixture with the cheese mixture.
• Place pan into a larger pan and add boiling water to cover halfway up sides of springform pan.
• Bake at 325°F about 40 minutes until set.
• Remove the springform pan from water very carefully and let cool 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• At serving time, slowly unmold the cake from the pan, sprinkle with the ¾ cup sugar and broil under broiler until sugar melts and browns (be careful not to burn the sugar).
• Place cheesecake on a serving platter and surround with fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.
