3 tb Sugar
Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.
Wrap the bottom half of a 9" springform pan with 3 layers of
aluminum foil.
In a large bowl, combine graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter.
Press crumbs into the bottom of a greased 9" springform pan and
about 1" up the sides. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned.
Set aside and cool.
Increase oven temperature to V. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese
on medium speed until smooth, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to
medium-low; add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a
time, until incorporated. Beat in sour cream and vanilla until
smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour into prepared crust.
Place springform pan in a larger baking pan; add 1" of hot water to
larger pan. Bake 15 minutes. Turn oven down to 225°F/107°C; bake
another 1-1/4 hours. Turn oven off and open the oven door; let
cheesecake sit 30 minutes, or until center is set. Remove from
oven; let cool on wire rack up to 2 hours. Cover; refrigerate at
least 6 hours or overnight.
Remove sides of springform pan. Sprinkle top of cheesecake with
sugar. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize sugar. Let sit 5 minutes
to harden. Slice and serve.
