Crust

Cheesecake Filling

Caramel Sauce

Method

Crust

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

  2. 2

    Form the Crust

    Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and allow to cool.

Cheesecake Filling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.

  2. 4

    Add Eggs

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  3. 5

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool slowly. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Caramel Sauce

  1. 6

    Make the Caramel

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar. Stir constantly until it turns a deep amber color. Be careful not to burn it.

  2. 7

    Add Butter and Cream

    Once the sugar is melted, add the butter and stir until melted. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until the sauce is smooth. Add a pinch of salt. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Drizzle the cooled caramel sauce over the chilled cheesecake before serving. Enjoy your delicious creme caramel cheesecake!
