### Essential Ingredients
To make this exquisite dessert, you will need:
* Well-softened cream cheese for a creamy base.
* Sugar for sweetness and caramel.
* Eggs for structure and texture.
* Crème fraîche or heavy cream for a moist texture.
* Vanilla extract for a delicate aroma.
* A biscuit base (like speculoos or graham crackers) for a crispy base.
### Preparation in a few steps
1. **Prepare the base**: Mix the crumbled biscuits with melted butter and press this mixture into the bottom of the pan.
2. **Prepare the cheesecake batter**: Whisk the cream cheese with the sugar, add the eggs one by one, then the cream and vanilla.
3. **Slow bake**: Bake the cake in the oven at a low temperature for a creamy, crack-free texture. 4. **Final Caramelization**: Once cooled, sprinkle the surface with sugar and caramelize it with a blowtorch or under the grill to create a crispy crust.
### Tips for Perfect Results
* Use a bain-marie during baking to prevent the cake from cracking.
* Let cool completely and refrigerate for several hours, ideally overnight, before caramelizing the top.
* For a perfectly golden caramel, keep a kitchen blowtorch handy!
