Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it forms a golden, crispy layer. Be sure to move the torch back and forth to prevent burning the sugar.

(If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can place the bars under the broiler for 2–3 minutes. Just be sure to watch closely to prevent burning!)

5. Slice and serve:
Allow the sugar topping to harden for a few minutes before slicing the cheesecake bars into squares.
Serve immediately for that perfect crème brûlée crunch, or refrigerate for later enjoyment!
Tips:
If you want an extra burst of flavor, try infusing the cream with vanilla beans or another flavoring before adding it to the cheesecake filling.
These bars can be topped with fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel for added flair.
You can prepare these a day ahead for a hassle-free dessert option!
