In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract and heavy cream until fully incorporated.

Pour the filling over the prepared crust.

Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake

Place the cheesecake pan in a water bath (wrap the bottom with foil and place in a larger baking pan with 1 inch of hot water).

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.

Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 4: Caramelize the Sugar Topping

Before serving, sprinkle ¼ cup of sugar evenly over the top of the cheesecake.

Use a kitchen torch to melt and caramelize the sugar until golden brown.

Allow it to harden before slicing and serving.
