This isn't your everyday cheesecake. Oh, no. Not by a long shot. With a splash of Jack in the cheesecake and in the decadent chocolate ganache, not to mention a layer of walnut-studded brownie batter in between, this cake, well, takes the cake.

I remember first having this cheesecake years ago at the Cheesecake Factory. It was my favorite and I got it every time I went to that restaurant. Then they stopped selling it. I was able to find a version online and every time that I made it, it was just like the one at the restaurant. I ended up losing that recipe, but I am so happy to say that this is the exact recipe to a t! It is phenomenal, boozy, tasty, decadent and a true crowd pleaser for anyone that sinks their teeth into this luscious cheesecake. Do yourself a favor and make it. It does take some effort, but it is worth it in the end. Just make sure not to rush any steps.
