For the Crust

  • 3 large Eggs Use egg substitutes for a vegan option
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract Pure vanilla for best flavor
  • 1 cups Sour Cream Greek yogurt can be a healthier alternative
  • 0.5 cups Bourbon Can swap for rum or whiskey

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until it resembles wet sand. Press into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes to cool.
  2. Beat cream cheese until smooth, add sugar gradually, mix well after each addition. Incorporate eggs one at a time, blend in vanilla, sour cream, and bourbon until velvety.
  3. Pour cheesecake filling over cooled crust. Bake for 60 minutes until edges are set, center slightly jiggly. Turn off oven, let cool inside for an hour.
  4. In a saucepan, combine sugar over medium heat, swirl to melt. Add unsalted butter and stir until combined. Slowly pour in heavy cream and stir in bourbon, let cool slightly.
  5. Once cheesecake is at room temperature, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Serve with caramel sauce drizzled over top.
