How to Make Chocolate Almond Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, toasted slivered almonds, and granulated sugar.
  3. Stir in the melted butter until evenly moistened.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and 1 ¾ inches up the sides of a greased 9-inch springform pan.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. In a small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold milk. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
  7. Cook and stir over medium heat until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature (about 6-8 minutes).
  8. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  9. Beat in the almond extract.
  10. Gradually add the melted and slightly cooled chocolate, mixing until combined.
  11. Stir in the cooled gelatin mixture until well incorporated.
  12. Gently fold in the whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
  13. Pour the batter into the prepared crust.
  14. Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  15. Just before serving, run a thin knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake.
  16. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
  17. Garnish with chocolate kisses, toasted slivered almonds, and additional whipped cream, if desired.
  18. Refrigerate leftovers.
