temperature)
4ounces Almond paste
4 large eggs
1/3 C Amaretto liqueur
1/2 C Heavy cream
1/4 C Sugar -- granulated
MAKE CRUST: Butter the sides only (not the bottom) of a 9-inch spring-form pan
(about 2 1/2 to 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.
MAKE FILLING: Adjust rack 1/3 up from the bottom of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees 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:
* This is adapted from Maida Heatter's "Book of Great Chocolate Desserts," (Knopf 1980).
It won me a blue ribbon at the Martha's Vineyard Agricultural Exhibition and Fair in 1983.
If you ever find yourself in front of a firing squad, this makes an unbeatable last request.
* 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.
: Difficulty: moderate to hard.
: Time: 30 minutes preparation, 45 minutes baking, overnight cooling.
: Precision: measure ingredients carefully.

Bo's Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
Recipe By : Daniel P. Faigin System Development Corporation, Santa Monic
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cheesecakes Chocolate
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
700g cream cheese -- broken into pieces
4 eggs -- separated
30mlvanilla extract (do not use artificial van
250mlsour cream
50g brown sugar -- or to taste
450g chocolate chips
450g graham cracker crumbs
125g butter -- melted.
1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C .
2. Prepare the batter: place the egg yolks in a food processor for 5 seconds,
then add the cream cheese and beat until smooth.
Add the brown sugar and vanilla and process for several minutes,
or until the batter is very smooth. Add the sour cream, then beat the egg whites
and fold into the cheese mixture. Set aside.
3. Prepare the crust: soften butter and combine with graham cracker crumbs.
Mix until fully blended, e.g. they will form a ball when squeezed in your hand or by a spoon.
Pat the crust into the sides and bottom of a springform pan about 22 cm in diameter.
4. Spread a generous layer of chips on the bottom of the pan,
and then pour the batter into the pan.
Add another generous layer of chips to the top of the cake.
5. Place the filled pan into the preheated oven.
Baking time will vary from about 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Cooking time depends on whether you want a soft, gooey ``New York'' style cheesecake (shorter)
to a fluffy " souffleé "-like cheesecake (longer). The longer you cook it, the fluffier it gets.
6. When the cake starts to rise like a souffleé, start checking to see if it is done.
It will just about double in volume, and should not flow over the sides of the pan.
If the cake shimmers like Jello when shaken, it is done.
Alternatively, if a knife inserted comes out clean, the cake is overcooked:
the knife should be very lightly coated with batter.
Difficulty : easy to moderate.
Precision : measure the ingredients.

NOTES:
* Legendary cheesecake -- This is from a dessert-chef friend of a regular-chef friend
and apparently won some award.
I've had cheesecakes that I think are more impressive (including one I can make),
but I think I'm something of a cheesecake connoisseur. If I want to blow people's socks off,
this is the one I cook. I think that every time I've served it to a new group,
at least one person has said "That was the best cheesecake I've ever had."
* Some pointers: this is the traditional crust,
but I often use a more floury-baked-pie-crust-like one. It's not too critical.
The magic to getting the texture perfect is in how you beat the cheese.
I use a kitchen aid, work slowly, scrape the bowl often,
and ALWAYS USE ROOM TEMPERATURE EVERYTHING. Using cold cream cheese guarantees lumps.
Don't beat too hard before putting in the sugar, but make sure it's even and fluffy
before the eggs go in. Then again, don't over-beat. It takes practice.
* I've been known to make it with no sugar or vanilla in the topping,
and I think it's more interesting. but the contrast between the layers may confuse
those accustomed to restaurant cheesecakes.
* The glaze is easy as glazes go, but treat it properly.
In particular, stir constantly until it's thick, but don't stir hard or
you'll break down the starch.
: Difficulty: rather difficult (timing is critical.) : Time: 1 hour.
: Precision: measure carefully.

CHEESECAKE (Belgian)
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cheesecakes
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
-----CRUST-----
2C Rolled oats (do not
2/3 C Brown sugar -- use instant oatmeal
steel-cut oats)
room temperature)
-----FILLING-----
11ounces Cream cheese
3/4 C Cottage cheese -- (at room temperature
3 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix crust ingredients with your hands until well blended.
Put the mixture in a 9-inch springform pan and form a crust,
pushing it about 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the pan.
Bake the crust about 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. and let it cool.
Beat (or mix) the filling ingredients, at very high speed, for seven minutes.
The mixture must be very smooth. Put the filling in the baked crust.
You may want to re-form the crust slightly first.
Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees F. The cheesecake is done when the filling is firm,
but not dark (burned) on top. Let it cool, then chill it.
NOTES:
* A moist cheesecake with a wonderful crust -- A college friend gave me this recipe,
oh so many moons ago. It comes from his parents, and may have roots in Belgium.
It is very different from the typical New-York-style dry cheesecake. Yield: Serves 6-8.
: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 20 minutes preparation, 40 minutes baking.
: Precision: measure carefully.
