How to Make Pumpkin Cheesecake With Bourbon Spiked Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup chopped pecans, and 6 tablespoons melted butter. Mix well and press firmly into the bottom of a 12-inch springform pan.
  3. In a food processor, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Add 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar and blend until combined.
  5. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Add 1 cup heavy cream, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth.
  7. Gently fold in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree until just combined.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared crust. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath).
  9. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  10. While the cake is baking, in a medium bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in ¼ cup bourbon.
  11. Let the cheesecake cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  12. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve, garnished with the bourbon whipped cream.
