Ingredients:

Serving

1-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp baking cocoa, divided
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
1-1/2 tsp almond extract, divided
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa and butter. Press onto the bottom of a 9-in. springform pan; chill.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and remaining sugar until smooth. Beat in 1 teaspoon extract and remaining cocoa. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined.
