Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup chocolate wafer crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped toasted hazelnuts
1/3 cup butter, melted
3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
12 oz bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
dash salt
glaze:
4 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
whipped cream and toasted chopped hazelnuts , optional

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine the crumbs and hazelnuts; stir in butter. Press onto the bottom of an ungreased 9-in. springform pan.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add chocolate. Add eggs; beat on low just until combined. Add sour cream, extracts and salt; beat just until blended. Pour over crust. Place pan on a baking sheet.

For glaze, in microwave, melt chocolate with cream; stir until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Spread glaze over top. Refrigerate overnight. Garnish with whipped cream and hazelnuts if desired. Yield: 16 servings.
