Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Cheesecake Base:
Cream cheese, softened
Granulated sugar
Eggs
Sour cream
Vanilla extract
Heavy cream
For the Crust:
Graham cracker crumbs (or use vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits)
Melted butter
A pinch of salt
For the Brûlée Topping:
White granulated sugar (for caramelizing)
How to Make It
1. Prepare the Crust:
Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream, vanilla, and heavy cream. Pour over the crust.
3. Bake:
Bake in a water bath at a low temperature to prevent cracks and ensure that ultra-smooth texture. Once set, cool completely and chill overnight.
4. Add the Crème Brûlée Finish:
Right before serving, sprinkle an even layer of granulated sugar over the top. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crisp. Let it cool for a minute so the sugar hardens into that classic brittle shell.
No torch? No problem. You can broil the cheesecake under a hot oven broiler—just watch carefully to avoid burning.
