_____Ingredients:_____
For the Crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
24 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup amaretto liqueur
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
For the Amaretto Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 tablespoon amaretto liqueur
For Garnish:
Sliced almonds
_____Directions:_____
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the bottom with aluminum foil to prevent leakage.
Make the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly moistened.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and set aside.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in sour cream, amaretto liqueur, almond extract, and flour until smooth and creamy.
Pour the filling over the prepared crust and spread it evenly.
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
Cool the cheesecake in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen it from the pan. Allow it to cool completely.
Make the Amaretto Whipped Cream:
In a chilled mixing bowl, beat heavy cream until it starts to thicken.
Add powdered sugar and amaretto liqueur, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Top the cooled cheesecake with the amaretto whipped cream and sliced almonds before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers.
