Maple Bacon Praline Cheesecake

Servings: 1 cheesecake

Ingredients

  • 15 graham crackers crushed into crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 4 8 oz cream cheese packages 32oz total, room temperature
  • cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ maple syrup
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 12 slices of cooked bacon crumbled

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 inch springform pan.
  • Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Press into the bottom of your springform pan. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in heavy cream, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Don't over mix! Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, and let cake cool in oven with the door closed for at least 90 minutes (this helps to prevent cracking).
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar with the butter for the topping. Cook on low, stirring often, until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil. Mix in the heavy cream, maple syrup, chopped pecans, & crumbled bacon. Cook for about 30 seconds, then remove from the heat. Pour over the cheesecake, & then refrigerate until the topping is set.
  • Store in the refrigerator. Best left at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
