Ingredients:

• For the Parmesan & Garlic Base:
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• For the Whiskey & Chocolate Filling:
• 24oz Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/2 cup whiskey
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled
• For the Bourbon & Butterscotch Topping:
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup bourbon

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
2. For the Parmesan & Garlic Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, melted butter, and minced garlic. Mix well and press evenly onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
3. For the Whiskey & Chocolate Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese and granulated sugar on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the whiskey and melted chocolate until fully combined. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
4. Bake the cheesecake for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly. Turn off the heat and leave the oven door slightly open. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour before removing and cooling to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
5. For the Bourbon & Butterscotch Topping: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the bourbon and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before pouring over the chilled cheesecake.
6. Slice and serve the Whiskey & Butterscotch Cheesecake with Parmesan & Garlic Base. Enjoy!
