Decadent Crème Brûlée Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients:
Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
Topping:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream until just combined.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and spread evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Before serving, sprinkle an even layer of granulated sugar over the top of the cheesecake. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it is golden and crispy. Alternatively, you can place the pan under a broiler to achieve the same effect.
Cut into bars and serve.
