Cheesecake Instructions

  • To a food processor, add graham crackers, butter, and salt. Mix well.
    If you don’t have a food processor add your graham cracker to a ziplock bag and crush them lightly with a meat tenderizer or hammer. 
     
    2 Sleeves Honey graham crackers, 1/4 Cup Butter, 5 Tbsp Butter
  • Add the mixture to the bottom of the pan. Press the graham crackers down evenly over the bottom of the pan. ( I used the 9-inch detachable cheesecake pan). 
     
  • Bake the graham cracker crust in a preheated oven of 350F until lightly brown. So, about 5-10 minutes. The results vary.
  • Next, in a bowl add softened cream cheese, eggs, sour cream, pure vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream. Mix well with a blender until smooth.
    4 8 ounce Cream cheese, 4 Large eggs, 1 Cup Sour cream, 1 Tsp Pure vanilla extract, 1/4 Cup Heavy cream
  • Next, add cornstarch, sugar, and salt,
     
    1 Tbsp Cornstarch, 1 1/3 Cup Sugar, 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • Take a cake pan strip, wet it, and place it around the 9-inch pan. Then, place the 9-inch cake pan into a bigger pan filled with boiling hot water.
  • Place in oven at 325 Fahrenheit for 1 hour (make sure the oven is preheated).
    After it has cooked for that hour turn the oven off and let sit for an hour. 
  • Place in the refrigerator to chill for 3 hours. Then add toppings and enjoy!!If using my homemade caramel I will have the instructions down below

Caramel Topping

  • Heat a small saucepan on medium-low.
  • Add in sugar and water.
    1 Cup Sugar, 1/4 Cup Water
  • Slightly stir the mixture. Don’t stir too much.
  • Let the sugar get to a golden color. Let it boil without stirring but don’t take your eyes off the pan. Allow the mixture to lightly brown. Not too much or you will burn the mixture.
  • Turn stove on low and add in heavy whipping cream and stir until caramelized sugar.
    1 Cup Heavy cream
  • Add in butter and salt and turn pot back to medium. Stir until the butter is dissolved.
    1/4 Tsp Salt
