Super Double-cream Cheesecake

FILLING
3 (8 oz.) packages cream
Cheese, softened
2/3 c Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
3 Eggs
3 c Sour cream
1 tb Fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tb Bourbon or dark rum
1 ts Vanilla extract
2 tb Unsalted butter, melted

MAKE THE CRUST: In a food processor or blender, grind the cookies into
moderately fine textured crumbs. Add the sugar, cinnamon and salt and
process briefly to blend. Transfer to a bowl, pour the butter over the
crumbs and toss with a fork to moisten evenly. Gently press the crumbs
evenly over the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. PREPARE THE
CHEESECAKE FILLING: Preheat the oven to 350F. In a food processor, combine
the cream cheese, sugar, salt and eggs; blend until smooth, scraping down
the sides of the container as necessary. Add the sour cream (see note),
lemon juice, bourbon, vanilla, butter, and blend. Pour the filling into the
cookie crumb shell and bake in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes. Turn
off the oven, prop the oven door slightly open and allow the cake to rest
in the oven for 1 hour. Cool on a rack and refrigerate for at least 8
hours. Note: If the container of the food processor is not large enough,
add only 1 cup of sour cream. Pour about half the mixture into a mixing
bowl; add the reamining 2 cups of sour cream to the processor and blend.
Combine both batches in the mixing bowl and stir to blend.
