Ingredients

Scale

1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
3 packages cream cheese (softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup caramel sauce (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a mixing bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan.
In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and bake for 45 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.
Allow to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Drizzle with caramel sauce just before serving.
