Luxurious Crème Brûlée Cheesecake Squares
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake:
16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
For the Crème Brûlée Topping:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even crust.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour until fully incorporated.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully chilled.
Before serving, sprinkle the top of the cheesecake evenly with 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it forms a crisp, golden crust.
Cut the cheesecake into squares and serve immediately.
