c. heavy or whipping cream

dark brown sugar

Feeling fancy? Crème Brûlée Cheesecake is a luscious homemade cheesecake baked atop a sweet, buttery graham cracker crust. The best part, of course, is the signature torched topping!

Crème Brûlée Cheesecake Recipe

graham cracker crumbs (391 grams, from about 25 cracker sheets)

sugar (67 grams)

unsalted butter (127 grams, melted (1⅛ sticks))

cream cheese (681 grams, room temperature (3 bricks))

sugar (125 grams)

heavy cream (151 grams, room temperature)

sour cream (76 grams, room temperature)

lime juice (21 grams, from ¾ lime)

vanilla bean paste (6 grams)

kosher salt (3 grams)

eggs (200 grams, room temperature)

cornstarch (14 grams)

Preheat

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and gently spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.

Press

To make the crust, whisk the graham cracker crumbs and sugar together in a medium-sized bowl. Add in the butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the springform pan in an even layer.

Bake

Place the pan into the oven to bake for 15 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and place onto a cooling rack to cool slightly as you make the cheesecake batter. Increase the oven heat to 400°F

Beat

Place the cream cheese and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat together on high speed for 2 minutes to ensure that the mixture is creamy and that no lumps of cream cheese remain.

Add in the heavy cream, sour cream, lime juice, vanilla bean paste, and salt, and mix until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.

Mix in the eggs until combined, then add in the cornstarch and mix until combined.

Pour

Pour the batter into the springform pan onto the crust. Smooth the top out as well as possible.

Wrap the bottom and up the sides of the springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent any water from seeping in. Place the springform pan into a larger baking pan or broiler pan. Fill the broiler pan with 1 inch of water to create a water bath. Place the pans into the oven to bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 250°F and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Cool

Once baked, turn the heat off and leave the cheesecake in the oven to cool for 30 minutes with the door closed. Open the oven door slightly and let the cheesecake continue to chill for 30 minutes. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and unwrap the tin foil. Place the springform pan onto a cooling rack to finish cooling completely.

Chill

Once cooled, cover with aluminum foil and place it into the fridge to chill for at least 8 hours.

Release

Once the cheesecake has chilled, run a butter knife around the inside edge of the springform pan to release the cheesecake from the pan. Release the springform and remove the sides from the cheesecake. Place the cheesecake onto a cake stand or serving platter.

Torch

Spread the sugar topping over the surface of the cheesecake in an even layer. Use a kitchen torch to toast the sugar. Using medium-to-low heat, hold the torch 1 inch away from the sugar and slowly toast the sugar. Once the sugar starts to bubble, move on to another section, as it will burn easily.

Serve

Once all of the sugar is toasted, let it set for several minutes to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Creme Brûlée Cheesecake

Creme Brulee is one of our favorite easy dessert recipes, made with only 4 ingredients. The silky texture and rich vanilla flavor make this homemade creme brulee recipe taste restaurant quality.

Easy Creme Brulee Recipe

heavy whipping cream

sugar (plus extra for caramelizing)

fine sea salt

tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)

Preheat the oven to 300˚F. Pour heavy cream into a medium saucepan and set over medium heat, stirring frequently until steaming and almost at a simmer then add vanilla and remove from heat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 5 egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt until blended. While whisking constantly, gradually drizzle in the hot cream. Start very slowly to avoid scrambling your eggs.

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup with a pouring lip. Discard anything left in the sieve. Divide the mixture into 6 (4-oz) ramekins and place in a 9x13 casserole dish.

Fill the baking dish with boiling water about halfway up the sides of the cups. Bake at 300˚F for 30-35 minutes, or until the centers are nearly set and have just a slight wiggle in the center. Carefully transfer ramekins from the water bath to a wire rack and cool to room temp then cover and refrigerate creme brulee until fully chilled (2 hours or up to 3 days).

How to Make Creme Brulee:

When ready to serve, put 1 1/2 to 2 tsp sugar on each custard, swirling to spread evenly. Torch the top - moving in a circular pattern until the whole surface is caramelized to a deep amber color.
