Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup melted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In another mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add sour cream and mix until smooth. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing the top. Bake for 50 minutes. Turn off the oven, open the door slightly, and let the cheesecake sit for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for an hour.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar and butter. Stir until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Whisk in sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, and vanilla. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Use a candy thermometer or soft ball test to ensure caramel reaches 225°F. Let caramel cool in the pan for 3-5 minutes, then pour over the cheesecake. Smooth the caramel and let it set until cool.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
