La recette de Francesca : Amaretto Cheesecake

1/2 c Whole almonds
1 lb Cream cheese
3/4 c Sugar
3 Eggs
1 t Vanilla extract
2 tb Amaretto
3/4 c Sour cream

Spread nuts in a baking pan and bake in a preheated
325F oven for 8 minutes or until lightly toasted. Let
cool and finely chop.
With an electric mixer, beat
cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in eggs, vanilla,
Amaretto and sour cream. Reserve 2 tablespoons of
nuts, and stir in remaining nuts. Pour batter into a
greased 9-inch springform pan.
Sprinkle reserved nuts over the top. Bake in the middle of a preheated 325F

Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar, and let cool in the
oven for 1 hour longer. Chill. To serve, remove pan
sides and cut into wedges.
