Crust Creation

Start by preparing the crust for your Watermelon Whiskey Cheesecake. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of crushed graham crackers, ¼ cup of melted butter, and a tablespoon of sugar. Mix well until the mixture becomes crumbly and moist. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan, ensuring an even layer.

Watermelon Whiskey Wonder

Next, it's time to infuse your cheesecake with the refreshing flavor of watermelon and a hint of whiskey. In a blender, puree 2 cups of fresh watermelon chunks until smooth. Set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, beat 16 oz of softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1 cup of sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Mix in ½ cup of sour cream, 2 tablespoons of whiskey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Finally, fold in the watermelon puree until fully incorporated.

Cheesecake Assembly

Pour the watermelon whiskey cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula, ensuring an even layer. Place the pan in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the edges are set and the center of the cheesecake is slightly jiggly.

Cool and Chill

Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow it to fully set.

5

Slice and Serve

When the cheesecake has chilled and set, carefully remove it from the springform pan. Slice into delicious wedges and serve chilled. For an extra touch of fruity goodness, garnish each slice with a small wedge of fresh watermelon.
