    CAKE:
    2 pounds cream cheese,

    1/8 teaspoon almond extract
    2 ounces bittersweet chocolate

    Recipe



    Mix cream cheese until smooth, adding
    vanilla sugar, sugar, and eggs one at
    a time. Remove 2 cups cheese batter; mix
    with ground filberts and almond
    extract. Pour onto crust and level with
    metal beveled spatula. Freeze for
    one hour. Melt chocolate. Remove another 2
    cups cheese mixture and add to
    melted chocolate. Pour over filbert layer,
    leveling well. Freeze for 20
    minutes. Pour remaining cheese layer onto
    chocolate mixture. Half fill
    10x13-inch aluminum pan with water. Wrap
    bottom of springform pan with
    heavy-duty aluminum foil and place in
    water. Bake at 350° for 2 hours. Let
    cool for another 2 hours in oven without
    opening door. Refrigerate for at
    least 6 hours.

    TOPPING:

    milk chocolate
    1 1/2 teaspoons coffee (liquid)
    3 teaspoons water
    1 teaspoon light corn syrup

    Melt all ingredients over low heat until
    dissolved. Remove sides of
    springform pan. Pour topping over cake,
    allowing it to drizzle down sides.
    Decorate with chocolate curls.

    *Note: To make vanilla sugar, bury two
    vanilla beans in one pound of
    granulated or confectioners' sugar. Store
    in airtight container for about a
    week.
