Maple Cheesecake:

Add the maple syrup, sour cream and vanilla, continue to blend. Add the eggs, one at a time, and blend until fully combined and smooth, approximately 3-4 minutes. If you see any small bits of cream cheese, pour the cheesecake batter through a strainer to remove any small pieces of unblended cream cheese.
  2. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust. Set aside.
  3. Place springform pan into a high rimmed baking sheet or the bottom of a broiler pan or other high-sided dish that will fit a 9-inch pan. Fill the containing pan 1/2 way with water.
  4. Bake the cheesecake for 70-75 minutes, or until the center jiggles just a tad, but the edges are a light brown. If edges start to brown before enter is set (not jiggly), loosely cover with a sheet of aluminum foil.
  5. Turn off the oven and crack open, allow to cool in the oven for 1 hour. Remove and cover (if fully cooled) and chill for a minimum of 12 hours, but best overnight.
  6. When ready to serve, carefully remove from the springform pan to serving dish. Before serving, drizzle with additional maple syrup and top with chopped Candied Bacon.
