Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, browned and cooled
- 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and 3 tbsp of the browned butter. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating just until combined after each addition.
- Mix in vanilla extract, sour cream, flour, and remaining 2 tbsp browned butter until fully incorporated.
- Pour batter over the crust in the springform pan.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off oven and leave cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracks.
- Remove from oven, cool completely, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, top the cheesecake with toasted pecans or a drizzle of caramel sauce before serving.
