Amaretto Kasekuchen

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter for the crust. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
-
Press the mixture onto the bottom of the prepared springform pan, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press the crust firmly.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
-
Stir in the sour cream, amaretto liqueur, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
-
Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan, spreading it out evenly.
-
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
-
While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the topping by mixing the sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
-
After the initial baking time, remove the cheesecake from the oven and gently spread the sour cream topping over the hot cheesecake.
-
Return the cheesecake to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
-
Once done, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about an hour.
-
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature before chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
-
Serve slices of the chilled Amaretto Kasekuchen with a sprinkle of toasted almond slices on top for an extra crunch and visual appeal.
