I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT CHEESECAKE COCKTAIL
Steps:
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the buttermilk, amaretto, hazelnut liqueur, brown sugar, and lemon peel. Shake vigorously until well mixed. Meanwhile, rim a glass in cream cheese, followed by crushed graham crackers. Pour the cocktail and garnish with a strawberry perched on the rim.
Tips:
- For a smooth and creamy cheesecake, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
- Be sure to beat the cream cheese and sour cream until they are completely smooth before adding the other ingredients.
- Do not overbeat the cheesecake batter, as this can cause it to be dense and crumbly.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent it from cracking.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before serving, as this will help it to set properly.
- Garnish the cheesecake with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce before serving.
