Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and lightly butter the sides.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
Making the Filling
  1. Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar, followed by eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla and sour cream.
  2. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes until edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
Cooling and Topping
  1. Turn off the oven and crack the door, letting the cheesecake cool for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  2. Sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over the chilled cheesecake and caramelize using a kitchen torch until golden.
