How to Make Crème Brûlée Cheesecake
Make the crust by combining the ingredients and pressing it into the bottom of the pan. Bake, then let cool. Beat together the cream cheese and sugar. Mix in the heavy cream, sour cream, lime juice, vanilla paste, and salt. Add the eggs, then the cornstarch. Pour the batter into the crust and create a water bath. Bake. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven first, then transfer it to the fridge. Release the cheesecake from the pan and cover the top evenly with sugar. Torch it. Let the cheesecake sit for a few moments, then slice and enjoy!
It’s pretty satisfying to crack into this cheesecake with your fork! The crunchy, sugary layer gives way to a creamy cheesecake. The combination of textures is incredible! There’s something about a homemade cheesecake that the store bought ones just can’t hold a candle to. Is it the rich, dense consistency? Is it the perfectly sweet flavor? Or is it the fact that I can easily add a Crème Brûlée topping to it? All of the above! Creamy as can be cheesecake layered on top of a buttery graham cracker crust with a signature Crème Brûlée topping, this dessert is one of my absolute favorites! It’s impressive, delicious, and rich with both luscious consistency and sweet flavor. If you make this recipe be sure to leave us a comment or rating. Enjoy!
