Gradually add 1 cup sugar mixing well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1/3 cup amaretto and pour into pan. Bake at 375 for 45 to 50 minutes or until set. Combine sour cream, 1 Tbs plus 1 tsp sugar and 1 Tbs amaretto. Stir well and spoon over cheesecake. Bake at 500 for 5 minutes. Let cool to room temp and refrigerate 24 to 48 hours. Before serving, garnish with almonds and grated chocolate.
I usually increase the amaretto to about 1/2 cup to give a little stronger flavor. Enjoy!
