A fusion of classic desserts, this Crème Brûlée Cheesecake features a silky vanilla bean custard topping over a rich cheesecake base for an indulgent finish to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until fully combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, free of lumps.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure everything is well-blended and fluffy.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and mix until the batter is fully smooth and well incorporated, creating a rich filling.
  5. Carefully pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  7. Once baked, let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled.
  8. Before serving, sprinkle brown sugar evenly on top of the cheesecake. Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it is bubbly and golden.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for the smoothest batter. Don’t overbake to ensure a perfect texture.
