    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    1 1/2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
    1 cup almonds -- finely chopped and
    -- lightly toasted
    3/4 cup butter -- softened
    1/3 cup sugar
    ***FILLING***
    3 packages cream cheese -- softened
    -- (8 oz each)
    1 cup sugar
    4 eggs
    1/3 cup heavy cream
    1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon Amaretto
    *** TOPPING***
    2 cups sour cream
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1 teaspoon Amaretto
    slivered almonds -- lightly toasted

    CRUST: Combine crumbs, almonds, butter and sugar in a bowl. Press into bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.

    FILLING: Cream cheese and sugar together in a large mixer bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add cream and Amaretto. Beat until light. Pour into crust. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 40 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes on wire rack. Filling will not be set.

    TOPPING: Combine sour cream, sugar and Amaretto. Spread evenly on cake. Bake 5 to 10 minutes; top will still be jiggly in center.

    Cool completely on rack. Cover lightly and chill overnight. Remove from springform pan. Place almond slivers around outside edge of top of cake.
