The best part of a creme brulee is the golden caramelized sugar topping that perfectly offsets the baked custard base. In this recipe, we swapped the usual custard base for an even more decadent baked custard: cheesecake, with a traditional graham cracker crust. There are lots of ways to elevate a cheesecake, but a crackly creme brulee topping is an unexpected twist that adds the same texture and sophistication we love from the dessert menu staple.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need a kitchen torch<\/a> for this recipe or, at the very least, a reliable broiler in your oven to caramelize the sugar. The outcome is a gorgeous creme brulee cheesecake that\u2019s a little more advanced in technique but can certainly be pulled off by even the most novice cooks. If you\u2019re serving the cheesecake at a party, caramelize the sugar with the kitchen torch (if using) in front of guests for an ooh and aah moment they\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n
