Crème Brûlée Cheesecake
Prepare to create a dessert that’s truly magnificent. Your friends and family will be blown away by the creamy texture and the delightful caramelized top. Here’s everything you need to know to whip up this heavenly treat.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar (for caramelizing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan to create the crust.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and beat until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and cornstarch, and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. The edges should be slightly puffed.
- Once baked, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for one hour. This helps prevent cracking.
- After it has cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the top with the remaining ⅓ cup granulated sugar and use a kitchen torch to carefully caramelize the sugar, creating a crisp, golden crust.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy your decadent Crème Brûlée Cheesecake!
