    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients





    3 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
    1/2 cup finely chopped almonds
    1/4 cup white sugar
    1/2 cup butter, melted
    3 1 ounce squares bittersweet chocolate
    2 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
    1 cup white sugar
    3 eggs
    1 teaspoon almond extract
    1 16 ounce container sour cream, room temperature

    Recipe




    Preheat oven to 350F. In a medium bowl, combine cookie crumbs, almonds, 1/4 cup sugar and melted butter. Mix well. Press into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 10 inch springform pan.

    In the top of a double boiler, heat chocolate, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to lukewarm.

    In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Fold in the almond extract and sour cream. Pour 1 1/2 cups of the filling into a smaller bowl. Stir the melted chocolate into the smaller bowl, then fold loosely back into plain filling. Pour into crust.

    With the tip of a knife, swirl the filling to create a marbled effect.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Turn off oven and let cake cool in oven for 1 hour, with the door closed. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.
