Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- Maple syrup and bourbon for drizzling, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, maple syrup, bourbon, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, chill overnight.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Drizzle with additional maple syrup and bourbon if desired before slicing and serving.
