Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 2 vanilla beans (scraped)
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt unsalted butter until golden brown and nutty—about 5-7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in browned butter, sour cream, powdered sugar, eggs one at a time, and scraped vanilla beans.
- Pour the filling over the crust and spread evenly. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 55-60 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
- Turn off the oven; let cool inside with the door ajar for one hour. Refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight before serving.
