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.
