Instructions: 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.
