MAPLE BACON CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix graham cracker crumbs, pecans, bacon bits, maple syrup, butter, vanilla extract, and salt together in a medium bowl; mixture will be pretty dry. Press enough mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to get a 1/4-inch-thick crust. Reserve extra crumbs for the sides and edges.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly while preparing the filling.
• Beat cream cheese, maple syrup, and sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add heavy cream, vanilla, almond, and lemon extracts; blend until smooth and creamy. Push mixture through a sieve to ensure a smooth filling.
• Wrap outside of the pan in a double layer of foil, covering the underside and extending all the way to the top. Set pan in a large roasting pan and pour in enough hot water to reach about halfway up the sides of the springform. Pour filling into the cooled crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are puffed and surface of cheesecake is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 1 hour.
• Turn oven off and open door slightly. Let cheesecake cool until nearly room temperature, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool completely to room temperature, about 20 minutes more. Refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours but preferably 24 to 48 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 9x13-inch baking sheets with foil. Lay bacon in a single layer on the pans. Brush about 1/4 cup maple syrup over bacon.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is halfway crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon onto a wire rack to drain the grease. Return bacon to the baking sheets and coat other side with remaining maple syrup. Continue baking until browned and crispy all over, about 10 minutes more.
• Cool bacon on a wire rack until safe to handle. Cut into small strips and scatter over the finished cheesecake.

• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• While the crust cools, beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy and smooth. Add eggs and beat for about 1 minute. Add heavy cream, bourbon, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Pour into the cooled crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C) and continue to bake until set, 20 to 30 minutes more. Turn the oven off, crack open the door, and keep cheesecake inside for at least 30 minutes. Chill for 1 hour.
• Mix hot fudge topping and bourbon together right before serving. Drizzle over the cheesecake and serve.

BACON BOURBON CARAMEL POPCORN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 250º.
• Melt 1 cup of butter over medium heat. Mix in brown sugar, corn syrup and sea salt and then stir until boiling at the edges. Lower the heat slightly and let boil until the caramel is 250º. Remove from heat and add the baking soda and bourbon. Once fully incorporated, stir in the bacon.
• Divide the popcorn into two very lightly greased roasting pans and coat with the caramel. Mix well and then put the popcorn into the preheated oven for about 45 minutes to an hour, mixing every 10-15 minutes so the kernels of popped corn is coated in bourbon bacon coating.
• Once done, pour onto either parchment paper or wax paper to cool and break into pieces.
• Refrigerate.
