Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter melted
  • 4 cups cream cheese softened
  • 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 0.5 cups Amaretto liqueur
  • 1 cups sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, 0.25 cups sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in Amaretto, sour cream, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake for 60 minutes or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with door slightly open for 1 hour. Remove and cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Slice and serve chilled. Optionally garnish with toasted almonds or whipped cream.

Notes

For a more intense amaretto flavor, drizzle additional liqueur over slices before serving.
