FOR CRUST: Combine crushed cookies, almonds, sugar and butter in medium bowl; mix well. Press firmly onto bottom and 2 inches up side of greased 9-inch springform pan.
FOR FILLING: Microwave morsels in medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on medium-high power for 1 minutes; stir. Morsels may retain some of their original shape. IF necessary, microwave at additional 10-15 second intervals, stirring until morsels are melted. Sprinkle gelatin over milk in small saucepan; let stand for 1 minute. Warm over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved; remove from heat. Beat cream cheese, sour cream and melted chocolate in large mixer bowl until fluffy. Beat in gelatin mixture and almond extract; fold in whipped cream. Pour into crust. Refrigerate for about 3 hours or until firm. Run knife around edge of cheesecake; remove side of springform pan. Garnish as desired.
