2. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees. Heat the sugar in a dry saucepan over low heat, stirring with a fork until it melts and turns pale golden. Continue cooking the caramel without stirring, gently shaking the pan, until it reaches a deep golden color. Remove from heat and carefully add the cream. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the caramel and cream are fully combined. Remove from heat and whisk in the chocolate until smooth. Add sour cream and mix well. Beat the cream cheese with a mixer, then add the chocolate mixture and blend at low speed. Add the eggs one at a time, along with the vanilla extract, beating at low speed after each addition.
