Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and mix until the dough comes together.

3. Press the dough into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.

4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it's smooth. Add the granulated sugar and beat until well combined.

5. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

6. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.

7. Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

8. While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the caramelized sugar topping. In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup (60 ml) of granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts and turns a golden brown.

9. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle the caramelized sugar over the top of the cheesecake and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

10. Once the cheesecake has cooled, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight. Release the springform pan sides and transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate.

11. Slice and serve. Enjoy your Tarta de Queso Cheesecake!
