Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for the caramel top)

The key to a great Cr��me Br��l��e Cheesecake Bar is quality heavy cream and cream cheese, which ensure your cheesecake is smooth and creamy. And don’t skimp on the vanilla extract; it gives the classic vanilla flavor. When it comes to the caramel top, just regular sugar does the trick – its caramelization brings that distinctive cr��me br��l��e character to the cheesecake. If you don’t have sour cream, you can substitute it with Greek yogurt.

How To Make Cr��me Br��l��e Cheesecake Bars

1. Preheat your oven to 325��F (160��C). Press the graham cracker and melted butter mixture into the bottom of an 8×8″ pan, ensuring it’s tightly packed. Bake for 10 minutes.
2. While the crust is baking, start preparing the cheesecake filling. Blend the cream cheese and granulated sugar until creamy, then add eggs, sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla. Mix until this combination is smooth.
3. Once the crust is ready, pour the cheesecake mixture on top, smoothening it out. Bake for about 30-40 minutes.
4. Fridge the cheesecake until it’s completely cool. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of sugar on top and caramelize with a kitchen torch until it forms a hard crust. Remember to let it cool before serving.

Tips For The Best Results

• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before blending.
• Don’t rush the cooling process. Patience is a virtue, especially while making cheesecake.

Storage Tips

• Cr��me Br��l��e Cheesecake Bars are best served fresh, but they can be refrigerated for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
