Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for cheesecake)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl until well-coated.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form a crust.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  5. Beat the cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
  6. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  7. Stir in sour cream and heavy cream until combined.
  8. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 55-60 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  10. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  12. Sprinkle granulated sugar and brown sugar over the top before serving.
  13. Caramelize with a kitchen torch until golden and crunchy.
  14. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and allow the cheesecake to cool slowly to avoid cracks.
