Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 packages (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
  • 1.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.5 cups sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter, browned

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Grease a 9-inch springform pan thoroughly on the bottom and sides with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared springform pan.
  4. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in granulated sugar and mix again until well combined and smooth before incorporating flour.
