How to Make Pumpkin Hazelnut Cheesecake With Whiskey Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. For the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Beat in pumpkin puree, eggs, hazelnuts, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg until well combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared crust.
  6. Bake for 80 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  7. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool slowly.
  8. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. For the Grand Marnier whipped cream: Whip heavy cream with Grand Marnier until stiff peaks form.
  10. For the whiskey sauce: In a small saucepan, combine whiskey, brown sugar, and butter. Simmer over low heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved and sauce is slightly thickened.
  11. Once the cheesecake is completely cool, top with whipped cream and drizzle generously with warm whiskey sauce.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!
