Amaretto Cheesecake
|
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs |
|
2 tablespoons sugar |
|
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
|
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons butter, melted |
|
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
|
1 cup sugar |
|
4 eggs |
|
1/3 cup amaretto |
|
1 (8 ounce) carton sour cream |
|
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sugar |
|
1 tablespoon amaretto |
|
sliced almonds |
|
chocolate candy bar, shaved |
Combine graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, and butter; mix well. Firmly press mixture into bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of a 9" springform pan.
Beat cream cheese with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add 1 cup sugar, mixing well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1/3 cup amaretto; pour into prepared pan. Bake 375 for 45-50 minutes or until set.
Combine sour cream, 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon amaretto. Stir well and spoon over cheesecake. Bake at 500 for 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature; then refrigerate 24-48 hours. (It is best when thoroughly chilled and flavors have time to ripen.) Garnish with almonds and shaved chocolate.
NOTE: I used light cream cheese, light sour cream, and one bar of Hershey's chocolate candy. I used my potato peeler to shave the chocolate and make the curls. Just be sure and do it carefully, as the candy breaks easily.
