Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare the crust by mixing graham cracker crumbs, flour, and baking powder. Stir in melted butter until combined.
Tip: Use a food processor to make the crust easier to mix.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar and mix until combined.
Tip: Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl for an even mix.
- 3
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Tip: Don't overbeat the mixture, as it can become too thin.
- 4
Pour in milk and honey, and mix until just combined. Don't overmix!
Tip: The batter should still be slightly lumpy.

Divide the batter evenly among 12 mini muffin tin cups. Top each cup with a spoonful of caramel sauce.
Tip: Make sure to leave a 1cm border around the edges of each cup.
- 6
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Tip: Don't open the oven door during the baking time, as it can affect the cooking time.
