How to Make Amaretto Cheesecake Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup (113g) melted unsalted butter. Mix until crumbly.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust bakes, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, beat 16 oz (454g) cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, beating until combined.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour until just combined.
- Add 4 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Be sure not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons (30ml) Amaretto liqueur and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- Pour the filling evenly over the baked crust.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 cup (50g) sliced almonds.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is just set. The edges will be slightly firm.
- Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to fully set and the flavors to meld.
- Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
