How to Make Amaretto Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan.
- Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined.
- Add flour and mix until just incorporated.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Stir in sour cream, amaretto liqueur, and almond extract.
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 10 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 250°F (121°C).
- Continue baking for 55 minutes.
- While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, and melted butter.
- Spread the topping evenly over the cheesecake.
- Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This prevents cracking.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
