This recipe of scrumptious bourbon pecan pumpkin cheesecake has been in the works for a loooong time. I had to make sure it was just right for you guys!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

So over the course of a couple of years, I\u2019ve been enduring the difficult task of making (and eating) this cheesecake.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been rough.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"bourbon\"bourbon<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t lie \u2013 it was delicious right from the start. Pumpkin + cheesecake + bourbon + pecans = win. But I felt it wouldn\u2019t be just if certain quesitons weren\u2019t brought to light.<\/p>\n

What if I added 1\/4 teaspoon more cinnamon?<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Organic pumpkin puree vs. regular?<\/em><\/p>\n

Proper ratio of pecans to graham cracker in the crust?<\/em><\/p>\n

The only way to address these pressing matters: make another cheesecake. And another. And another.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"pecans\"\"pecans\"<\/p>\n

The crust was subject to the most experimentation. I tried all kinds of crazy combinations of cookies and nuts.<\/p>\n

The answer, of course, turned out to be the simplest: equal parts ground pecans and graham cracker crumbs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\"mixture\"mixture<\/p>\n

And the filling? Well I took the usual cheesecake suspects, then dumped a bunch of spices, some pureed pumpkin and bourbon on top!<\/p>\n

\n

Everything is better with bourbon on top. I\u2019ve done studies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

So after much careful testing, I\u2019m proud to finally share one of my favorite desserts with you.<\/p>\n

A not-too-sweet, spicy, pumpkiny, slightly boozy sky-high slice of indulgent goodness.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Bring it to a holiday party! People will like you.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have bourbon or don\u2019t want to use alcohol for any reason \u2013 leave it out! It\u2019ll still be plenty delicious.<\/p>\n
