Directions
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 Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add cream and Amaretto. Beat until light. Pour into crust. Bake at 375℉ (190℃) 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. Place almond slivers around outside edge of top of cake.
