    List of Ingredients

    4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese
    1 1/2 cups white sugar
    2 tbsp cornstarch
    6 eggs
    1 (16 oz) container sour cream
    1/2 cup melted butter
    1 tbsp vanilla extract
    1 tbsp orange extract
    1 tbsp lemon juice
    1 tbsp almond extract
    2 fluid oz amaretto liqueur
    2 1/2 cups crushed macaroon cookies
    2/3 cup melted butter


    Recipe

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Wrap the outside of a 10 inch springform pan with foil.

    In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar and corn starch until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in sour cream and 1/2 cup melted butter. Stir in vanilla and orange extracts, lemon juice, almond extract and amaretto liqueur.

    To make crust: Combine macaroons and 2/3 cup melted butter. Blend thoroughly. Place most of the crust mixture in the bottom of the springform pan. Pour cheese mixture over crust, and sprinkle some crust mixture on top of batter.

    Place springform pan in a roasting pan, and set it in the oven. Fill roasting pan with water. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let set for 2 hours. Invert cheesecake so that the bottom becomes the top.
    Serves 12.
