Amaretto-amaretti chocolate cheesecake

Yield: 16 Servings
Th

7 oz Amaretti (see note)      2 Tbsp granulated sugar 1 oz unsweetened chocolate (1 square)
5 Tbsp sweet butter FILLING      6 oz semisweet chocolate
7 oz Amaretti      4 oz almond paste
1/3 cup Amaretto liqueur 1 1/2 lb cream cheese at room temperature      1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 eggs (large or extra-large)      1/2 cup heavy cream PROCEDURE (CRUST) Butter the sides only (not the bottom) of a 9-inch spring-form pan (2
1/2-3 inches deep). Grind the Amaretti very fine in a food processor

or blender. Mix with sugar in a mixing bowl. Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler stirring occasionally. Add the melted mixture to the Amaretti crumbs and sugar and mix thoroughly. (Don't wash the double boiler; you'll be using it again in a minute.) Turn the mixture into the prepared pan. With your fingers distribute it evenly over the bottom and press it down into a very firm compact layer. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling. PROCEDURE (FILLING) Adjust rack 1/3 up from the bottom of the oven and preheat to 350 deg. F. Partially melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler then uncover and stir until completely melted. Remove the top of the double boiler and set aside to cool. Break the Amaretti coarsely into a bowl and set aside. Cut the almond paste into small pieces and beat on low speed with an electric mixer while gradually adding the Amaretto liqueur. Beat until thoroughly mixed and set aside. Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until smooth again. Add the almond paste-Amaretto mixture and beat until thoroughly mixed. Add the melted chocolate and beat well again. Add the eggs one at a time beating at low speed until they are incorporated after each addition. Add the heavy cream and beat until smooth. Add the coarsely broken Amaretti and stir gently only to mix. Turn into the prepared pan pouring the mixture over the bottom crust. Rotate the pan gently to level the batter. (Don't worry if the mixture comes almost to the top; it won't run over.) Bake 45 minutes. It will seem soft and not done but don't bake any more; it will become firm when chilled. The top of the cake is supposed to look bumpy because of the large chunks of Amaretti. Let cool completely at room temperature then carefully remove the sides of the pan and refrigerate the cake (still on the bottom of the pan) for 4 to 6 hours or overnight. NOTES Amaretti are Italian almond-flavored wafer cookies. They are usually sold in metal tins with the wafers wrapped in packages of two inside the tin. You can also buy Amarettini which are the same flavor but much smaller and not individually wrapped. Since you're going to grind some of the wafers and break the others into chunks it doesn't matter which size you start with. One brand is Amaretti di Saronna Lazzaroni & Co. This is an expensive cake both in terms of the cost of the ingredients ($15-$20) and the number of calories. RATING Difficulty: moderate to hard. Time: 30 minutes preparation 45minutes baking overnight cooling. Precision: measure ingredients carefully.
