1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cheesecake Filling:
3 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons bourbon
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
For the Bacon Bourbon Caramel Sauce:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup bourbon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325F 165C.
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a solid crust layer.
Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream.
Gradually add the flour, mixing until fully incorporated.
Finally, add the bourbon and beat until smooth.
Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust.
Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake
Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is mostly set but slightly jiggly. The edges should be golden and firm.
Turn off the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for about 1 hour with the door slightly ajar. This helps prevent cracking.
After cooling, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Step 4: Make the Bacon Bourbon Caramel Sauce
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Stir in the brown sugar and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sugar to dissolve and the mixture to bubble.
Add the heavy cream and bourbon, continuing to stir for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat.
Let the caramel sauce cool slightly before drizzling over the cheesecake.
Step 5: Assemble the Cheesecake
Once the cheesecake is set and chilled, drizzle the Bacon Bourbon Caramel Sauce over the top.
Garnish with the crumbled bacon for a crispy, savory contrast to the sweetness of the caramel sauce.
Step 6: Serve
Slice and serve this decadent cheesecake for an unforgettable dessert experience!
