Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until resembling wet sand. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8 minutes and let cool.
- Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C). Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then add white and brown sugars. Add eggs one by one. Fold in sour cream, brewed espresso, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and bake for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until slightly jiggly in the center. Turn off the oven and crack the door for 15 minutes to prevent cracking.
- Transfer the cheesecake to a wire rack, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to meld flavors.
- When ready to serve, whip fresh cream, prepare caramel drizzle, slice cheesecake, and top each slice with whipped cream and caramel.

Notes
Chill overnight for deeper flavor; consider using a water bath to prevent cracks during baking.
