ALMOND WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE
This special cheesecake is perfect at holiday time. The Amaretto (almond liqueur) gives it a special, festive flavor that is sure to please. I found the recipe at cooking .com, and have used it a few times now, and have had a good reception to it every time!!

Steps:
- FOR THE CRUST:.
- Position rack in the center of the oven and preheat ot 350°F.
- Butter 9-inch springform pan with 2 3/4 inch sides.
- Grind shortbreads and almonds in a food processor. Add butter and process until clumps form. Press the dough into the pan bottom. Bake until golden brown - about 8 minutes. Cool crust completely. But maintain oven temperature.
- FOR THE FILLING:.
- In top of double boiler set over barely simmering water, stir white chocolate until it is melted. Remove pan from water.
- Using a mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until completely blended and smooth. Add sour cream and Amaretto and beat until well-blended. Beat 1 egg at a time, then beat in melted chocolate.
- Pour filling into crust and bake until golden and puffed. Center will be set in just about 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cool pan on rack and refrigerate until cold.
- Before serving, run a knife around the sides of the spring-form pan to loosen the cake. Remove the pan sides and smooth the sides of the cake with a knife or spatula. Transfer the caker to a platter, garnish with additional chopped, toasted almonds and serve.
