Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Mix the Crust Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly and well combined.
- 3
Form the Crust
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer.

Bake the Crust
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Cheesecake Filling Preparation

Beat the Cream Cheese
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- 6
Add Sugar and Sour Cream
Add granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined.
- 7
Incorporate Eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Bake the Cheesecake
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.

Cool and Refrigerate
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Brulee Topping Preparation
- 11
Add Sugar on Top
Before serving, sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the top of the chilled cheesecake.
- 12
Caramelize the Sugar
Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it melts and forms a golden crust. Alternatively, broil in the oven for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- 13
Let it Cool
Allow the bruleed topping to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving the cheesecake.
