What if I don’t have a torch? Can you use a lighter instead of a torch for creme brûlée?
Not every stay at home chef will own a brûlée torch. A common question then is: can a person use a lighter or even a candle instead to caramelize the sugar. The short and simple answer is no. Lighters and candles do not produce enough heat to caramelize the sugar evenly or in a timely manner. If you personally do not own a brûlée torch you can also broil the creme brûlée using the broiler setting in your oven. With this method you will need to be careful and watch very closely so that the sugar does not burn.
Can Creme Brûlée Cheesecake Cupcakes be made in advance?
These creme brûlée cheesecake cupcakes can be made two to three days in advance, but there is a catch. To make these ahead of time simply store the cupcakes in the fridge before you sprinkle the fine sugar on them and caramelize it with the kitchen torch. Then when you are ready to eat, pull out the cupcakes, sprinkle on the fine sugar, and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar.
