"Yes i know that there are other pumpkin bourbon cheesecakes on here but this one is a bit different. It is the one that my mom has been making every year for Thanksgiving since the early 90's. I love this cheesecakes flavors. I do not know where she got it from."

ingredients

Crumb Crust
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
Pumpkin Filling
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 ¹⁄₄ cups sugar
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin-pie mix)
³⁄₄ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Bourbon
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground allspice
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
Sour-Cream Topping
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In 9" by 3" springform pan, with fork, stir graham-cracker crumbs, melted margarine or butter, and sugar until moistened. With hand, press mixture onto bottom of pan. Tightly wrap outside of pan with heavy-duty foil to prevent leakage when baking in water bath later. Bake crust 10 minutes. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat cream cheese until smooth; slowly beat in sugar until blended, about 1 minute, scraping bowl often with rubber spatula. With mixer at low speed, beat in pumpkin, sour cream, bourbon or vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
Pour pumpkin mixture into crust and place in large roasting pan. Place pan on oven rack. Carefully pour enough boiling water into pan to come 1 inch up side of springform pan. Bake cheesecake 1 hour 10 minutes or until center barely jiggles.
prepare Sour-Cream Topping: In small bowl, with wire whisk, beat sour cream, sugar, and vanilla until blended. Remove cheesecake from water bath, leaving water bath in oven, and spread sour-cream mixture evenly over top. Return cake to water bath and bake 5 minutes longer.
Remove cheesecake from water bath to wire rack; discard foil. With small knife, loosen cheesecake from side of pan to help prevent cracking during cooling. Cool cheesecake completely. Cover and refrigerate cheesecake at least 6 hours or overnight, until well chilled. Remove side of pan to serve.

Hello all I am a sahm to two beautful girls(5 and 6). Also sharing my home is my DH, our 3 dogs(boxer,pitt, and something else mixes all 3 of them) our cat Tinkerbell and 13 ferrets. I love to cook and try new things. I make my own cookbooks from recipes that i get off line. I love anything chocolate and am a big tea drinker(both iced and hot). I am a muncher but am trying to get better. I love to read and listen to almost all kinds of music, sorry not a big country fan. And i am a world traveler. Thanks to family all over the world. I would have to say that my fav chef is Giada De Laurentiis, i love her show and want all of her cookbooks (i have yet to buy one but i will). Other then that I love to collect kitchen gadets, unique necklaces and rings. Thats me in a nutshell. The only thing I drink is Amaretto Sours and my best friends know that I do not normally have any Disaronno in the house so its always a nice surprise when I get a bottle sent to me.
