Ingredients
FOR THE CRUST:
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
FOR THE FILLING:
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
FOR THE BRÛLÉE TOPPING:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for caramelizing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
- Prepare the filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and heavy cream. Pour over cooled crust.
- Bake the cheesecake: Place the pan in a water bath and bake for 55-65 minutes. Let cool in the oven, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Caramelize the topping: Sprinkle sugar on top of the cheesecake and torch until golden. Let cool before serving.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cheesecake is fully chilled before brûléeing.
- A kitchen torch works best for caramelizing, but broiling is an alternative method.
