Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup brown sugar

For the filling:

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste or seeds from 1 vanilla bean
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Press into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
  2. Brown the butter: In a saucepan, brown the butter over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla bean paste and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each. Stir in sour cream and brown butter until fully incorporated.
  4. Assemble and bake: Pour filling over the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until edges are set and the center slightly jiggles. Turn off oven and leave cheesecake inside for 1 hour.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove cheesecake and cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
