Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
For the filling
  • 1 cups sugar
  • 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cups sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cups caramel sauce (ensure it’s alcohol-free)

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and mix until well coated.
  2. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool while you prepare the filling.
Make the Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  2. Add in the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Continue to beat until everything is fully combined and creamy.
Bake the Cheesecake
  1. Pour the filling over your cooled crust. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set with a slight jiggle.
Chill
  1. Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for an hour before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
Serve with Caramel
  1. Once chilled, drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the top before slicing. Enjoy this heavenly treat with family and friends!

Notes

For best results, use room temperature cream cheese and avoid overmixing to prevent air bubbles. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
