Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
⅓ cup butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup milk
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons flour
3 teaspoons bourbon whiskey, divided
2 eggs
1 cup dark brown sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
4 egg yolks
⅔ cup maple syrup, or dark corn syrup
½ cup cream, warm to the touch
4 tablespoons butter, cold
2 cups roasted pecan, chopped
whole roasted pecan, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (170°C).
  • In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the mixture into a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and press it evenly into the bottom and halfway up the sides. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill.
  • In a large bowl add the cream cheese, sugar, and milk. With a hand mixer, beat until fluffy and fully incorporated.
  • Add in the sour cream, flour, 2 teaspoons of the bourbon, and the two eggs and gently continue to mix until the cream cheese filling is smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into the springform pan with the graham cracker crust and bake for 1 hour, or until the cheesecake no longer jiggles.
  • While the cheesecake is cooking, prepare the stove-top pecan pie filling.
  • In a bowl combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt, stir together and pour into a medium saucepan on low heat.
  • Pour in the egg yolks, maple syrup, and warm cream and whisk until smooth.
  • Cook on low heat until the mixture thickens like a pudding, 5-10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the cold butter and the final teaspoon of bourbon and whisk until fully emulsified. The pudding-like mixture should be around room temperature.
  • Fold in the roasted, chopped pecans and then pour the mixture over the cooked cheesecake and spread it out as an even layer.
  • If you like, sprinkle with extra chopped pecans or garnish with whole pecans.
  • Let the cheesecake chill in the refrigerator until completely set.
  • Slice and serve cold or at room temperature.
  • Enjoy!
