Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a firm crust.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool while preparing the filling.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  6. Gradually add sugar, beating until fully combined.
  7. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  8. Stir in vanilla extract, heavy cream, and sour cream until the mixture is silky smooth.
  9. Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
  10. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is slightly set but still wobbles when gently shaken.
  11. Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
  12. Once the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  13. Sprinkle an even layer of sugar over the chilled cheesecake.
  14. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crisp, golden-brown crust. Allow it to cool briefly before serving.

Notes

Avoid Cracks:Let the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven to prevent cracks on the surface.
Torch Technique:Hold the torch a few inches away from the sugar and move it in circular motions to caramelize evenly.
Make It Ahead:Prepare the cheesecake a day in advance for deeper flavors and firmer texture.
