Description

Indulge in the rich flavors of this Vanilla Bean Brown Butter Cheesecake, featuring a buttery graham cracker crust and a creamy filling infused with the warm essence of brown butter and vanilla.


Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

6 tbsp unsalted butter

melted

¼ cup brown sugar

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

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the 3 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the brown butter and vanilla bean paste (or seeds) to the cream cheese mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Finally, fold in the sour cream until smooth.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for an hour to prevent cracking.
  • Remove from oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality vanilla bean paste or fresh vanilla beans. Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
