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.
