Yield: 10-inch cheesecake

1/4 cup butter
1 cup graham cracker crumb
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 tablespoons sugar

8 ounces semisweet chocolate
16 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs
8 ounces sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
To make the crust: Melt the butter and combine with other crust ingredients. Press the mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan.
To make the filling: Melt the chocolate and set it aside to cool.
Soften the cream cheese and beat it with the sugar until the mixture is smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, melted chocolate, vanilla, almond extract, and amaretto.
Turn the mixture into the crust and bake for 1 hour. Turn the oven off and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
