Ingredients: 
2 ounces cream cheese 
1 egg yolk 
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar 
2 teaspoons bourbon or vanilla 
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup 
optional: fresh berries and mint leaves for garnish 

Directions: In a small bowl, microwave creme cheese for about 15 seconds, or until soft. Whisk in the egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the bourbon until smooth. Pour into two very-small ramekins (I used the 2″-square dip dishes from Pier One). Microwave for 25-35 seconds, or just until the center of the cream cheese mixture is set. Remove from microwave. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, mix together the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar and the maple syrup. Microwave for 10-20 seconds, until bubbly. Drizzle over creme brulees. Allow sugar topping to harden for a minute before topping with berries & mint, (if desired) and serving.
