Ingredients

• 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 24 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Heavy cream (for whipped topping)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for whipped topping)
• 1 tablespoon Bourbon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for whipped topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add 1 cup granulated sugar and light brown sugar, beating until well incorporated.

Step 6

Mix in the pumpkin, sour cream, and heavy cream, followed by the vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth.

Step 7

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan.

Step 9

Place the pan on a baking sheet, then bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but the edges are set.

Step 10

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.

Step 11

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 12

Before serving, prepare the whipped topping. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

Step 13

Add the sugar, bourbon, and vanilla extract, then continue to whip until stiff peaks form.

Step 14

Spread or pipe the bourbon-spiked whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake.

Step 15

Garnish with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon, if desired. Slice and serve!
