Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Heat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the base.
- Mix crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the pan base and slightly up the sides.
- Bake crust for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Cool briefly.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Scrape the bowl often for a lump-free batter.
- Add eggs one at a time on low speed. Mix in sour cream and vanilla just until combined.
- Pour filling over crust. Smooth the top and tap pan gently to release bubbles.
- Bake 45 to 55 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Turn oven off and crack the door.
- Cool cheesecake in oven 1 hour, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Spread caramel sauce over chilled cheesecake. Sprinkle sea salt if desired, slice with a warm knife, and serve.
Notes
For a softer center, remove cheesecake when the middle still wobbles slightly. For firmer slices, bake a few extra minutes. Freeze whole or sliced cheesecake tightly wrapped for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator. If caramel runs, chill sauce before topping. Add pecans, chocolate chips, espresso, or apples for flavor twists. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
