Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Prepare a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of each cupcake liner.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla, eggs, and heavy cream, beating until combined.
Divide the filling evenly among the crusts in the muffin pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until set around the edges but slightly wobbly in the center.
Allow the cheesecakes to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar on top and caramelize with a kitchen torch.
