- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the heavy cream, bourbon, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Prior to serving, spread the caramel sauce over the top of the cheesecake and sprinkle the chopped salted pistachios over the caramel.
- Slice the cheesecake and serve!
