Description

A delightful Vanilla Bean Brown Butter Cheesecake that combines rich flavors and creamy textures, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste (or seeds from 1 vanilla bean)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup brown butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add brown sugar and mix until well combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add vanilla bean paste, sour cream, and a pinch of salt, mixing until smooth.
  5. Slowly drizzle in the cooled brown butter while mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set but the center has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
  • For freezing, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil.
  • Let the cheesecake sit in the fridge for at least four hours before serving for the best flavor.
