Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup sour cream

 

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (for caramelized topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
  • Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla, heavy cream, and sour cream.
  • Pour filling over the crust and bake for 50-55 minutes until set. Cool completely.
  • Sprinkle sugar evenly on top and use a kitchen torch to caramelize until golden and crisp.

 

  • Chill before serving.

Notes

  • Use a water bath for a crack-free cheesecake.
  • Let the cheesecake cool gradually to prevent sinking.

 

  • If you don’t have a torch, broil for a few seconds.
