Ingredients:

For the Crust:

1½ cups graham cracker crumbs (9-10 full-sheet graham crackers)
6 tablespoons butter, melted
⅓ cup granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake:

32 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (4 packages – 8 oz each)
5 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups sour cream, room temperature
8 tbsp butter, room temperature (1 stick)
1½ cups granulated sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
3 tsp bourbon caramel syrup
1 tsp lemon juice

For the Toppings:

Bacon, cooked crispy and roughly chopped
Chocolate-caramel sauce

Directions:

Crust: Blend the graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix with sugar and melted butter until moist. Press into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Freeze the crust to set.
Cheesecake: Wrap the springform pan with foil covering the bottom and sides. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Then, mix in sour cream, sugar, cornstarch, bourbon caramel syrup, and lemon juice until smooth.
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust and bake in a water bath for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the top is lightly browned and set.
Finish: Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight to set.
Toppings: Before serving, top with crispy bacon and drizzle with chocolate-caramel sauce for the perfect sweet and salty combination.
