Easy Crème Brûlée Cheesecakes
Just a Taste featured Melanie Underwood’s Crème Brûlée Cheesecakes from Making Artisan Cheesecake, bringing together two classic custard desserts in one individual-sized recipe.

Just a Taste founder Kelly Senyei studied at the Institute of Culinary Education and described Melanie as one of the chef instructors who influenced her during culinary school.
Why the recipe works
The recipe combines the tang and structure of cheesecake with the creamy custard base and crackling caramelized sugar top associated with crème brûlée. A water bath and controlled bake keep the filling smooth; chilling sets the custard before the sugar is torched.
From Making Artisan Cheesecake
The feature is another example of Melanie using cheesecake as a framework rather than a single formula—combining classic pastry techniques in a way that is familiar but still surprising.
