Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Bourbon Peach Streusel Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted salted butter, and sugar until well blended. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form an even layer, then bake for 10 minutes or until set. Allow it to cool completely.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon for the streusel topping. Drizzle in the melted butter and mix until crumbly. Spread the mixture in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, blend cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add light brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, sour cream, and bourbon, mixing until creamy and well combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing gently after each addition to prevent incorporating too much air.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced and peeled peaches with a sprinkle of cinnamon and light brown sugar. Gently toss until the peaches are evenly coated.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. Evenly distribute the seasoned peach slices over the filling, pressing them down gently. Sprinkle the cooled streusel topping evenly over the peaches.
  6. To ensure even baking, create a water bath by placing the springform pan in a larger baking dish filled with hot water. Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit inside for an additional hour for gradual cooling.
  7. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the water bath and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set. Before serving, whip the cold heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  8. Top each slice of the Bourbon Peach Streusel Cheesecake with whipped cream and fresh peach slices for a delightful presentation.
