Delicious Brown Sugar Cheesecake
This cheesecake features a luscious filling made with cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla, all set in a graham cracker crust. It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to prepare and bake, plus chilling time, and serves 8 people.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and brown sugar together until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Finally, add sour cream and flour, mixing until smooth.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Cool and Chill: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or caramel sauce.
