• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce

Instructions

2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Fold in sour cream.
3. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Drizzle salted caramel sauce over it. Carefully spoon the remaining cream cheese mixture on top.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.
