MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
      3 tb Sugar

  Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.

  Wrap the bottom half of a 9" springform pan with 3 layers of
  aluminum foil.

  In a large bowl, combine graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter.
  Press crumbs into the bottom of a greased 9" springform pan and
  about 1" up the sides. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned.
  Set aside and cool.

  Increase oven temperature to V. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese
  on medium speed until smooth, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to
  medium-low; add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a
  time, until incorporated. Beat in sour cream and vanilla until
  smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour into prepared crust.

  Place springform pan in a larger baking pan; add 1" of hot water to
  larger pan. Bake 15 minutes. Turn oven down to 225°F/107°C; bake
  another 1-1/4 hours. Turn oven off and open the oven door; let
  cheesecake sit 30 minutes, or until center is set. Remove from
  oven; let cool on wire rack up to 2 hours. Cover; refrigerate at
  least 6 hours or overnight.

  Remove sides of springform pan. Sprinkle top of cheesecake with
  sugar. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize sugar. Let sit 5 minutes
  to harden. Slice and serve.
