    List of Ingredients




    Makes 1 - 10 inch springform pan (16 servings).

    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



    1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 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.

    2 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.

    3 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.

    4 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.
