Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of each ramekin.
In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and mix well. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract until creamy.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the crusts in each ramekin, filling them about three-quarters full.
Place ramekins in a baking dish filled halfway with hot water. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Allow to cool completely before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
Before serving, sprinkle torchable sugar on top and use a kitchen torch to caramelize until golden brown.
