# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Crust
01 -
115 g unsalted butter melted
02 -
50 g white sugar
03 -
180 g crushed graham crackers
→ Cheesecake Filling
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla
05 -
3 big eggs
06 -
240 g sour cream
07 -
200 g white sugar
08 -
450 g cream cheese brought to room temp
→ Topping
09 -
30 g flaky sea salt for dusting (if you want to)
10 -
120 ml caramel sauce
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Line a 23x33 cm pan with parchment or just grease it up. Crank the oven up to 163°C while you do this.
02 -
Spread your butter, graham crumbs, and sugar in a bowl. Mix it until clumpy and damp. Dump it in your pan and press it down nice and flat.
03 -
First, beat that cream cheese until it’s soft and smooth with the sugar. Toss in eggs, vanilla, and sour cream next, then whip it again until it looks creamy and blended.
04 -
Pour the batter on your crust, then spread it out. Put the pan in the oven for around 35 to 40 minutes. When the middle has a little wobble but the sides are firm, turn off the oven. Let it cool inside with the door cracked open for 1 hour.
05 -
Move the pan to your fridge for at least 4 hours—overnight is even better—so everything gets nice and set.
06 -
Take your bars out and pour caramel all over the top. If you like, sprinkle with salt. Cut into squares and enjoy.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Don’t rush cooling, or cracks might show up. Leave the bars in the oven at first.
02 -
Wipe your knife after each cut if you want really tidy slices.
