  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 slices

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup of sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of browned butter, cooled
  • 1 prepared graham cracker crust (or your preferred crust)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Browned Butter: Melt butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown and nutty aroma develops. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Mix the Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Vanilla and Eggs: Mix in vanilla bean paste or extract, scrape seeds from vanilla pod, then add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  4. Add Browned Butter: Gently fold cooled browned butter into the batter until evenly incorporated.
  5. Pour and Bake: Pour the filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes or until the center is just set. Cool gradually to prevent cracking.

Notes

  • Use high-quality vanilla beans or extract for the best flavor.
  • Ensure the browned butter is cooled before mixing to prevent curdling.
  • Baking at a low temperature helps prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually for a smooth surface.
