Ingredients

Scale

For the base:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter
  • Pinch of sugar

For the filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the caramel:

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Prepare the base: Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of silicone muffin tins or individual ramekins. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  • Prepare the filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla, and salt, beating well after each addition.
  • Assemble: Pour filling over the prepared base.
