Step 1
Add cream cheese, heavy cream, and condensed milk to a blender. Pulse until smooth, ~45 seconds.
Step 2
Add egg yolk and vanilla extract. Pulse again until completely smooth, no lumps visible.
Step 3
Divide mixture evenly between 4 ramekins (or one small shallow baking dish). Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Step 4
Sprinkle 1 tsp sugar over the top of each ramekin, covering the surface evenly.
Step 5
Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it turns deep amber and crackles slightly, ~90 seconds per ramekin.
Step 6
Let cool 2 minutes, then serve immediately while the burnt top is still crackling.
