Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2.5 cups cream cheese softened
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 units large eggs room temperature
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour in heavy cream and mix until just combined.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust. Bake for 60 minutes or until the center is set but still jiggles slightly.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Sprinkle the remaining sugar evenly over the top of the cheesecake. Use a culinary torch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown.
Notes
For a perfect caramelized topping, use superfine sugar and ensure the cheesecake is thoroughly chilled before torching the topping.
