For crust:.
Combine crushed cookies and chopped almonds in a small mixing bowl;.
Stir in melted butter or margarine.
Press mixture evenly onto bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Set pan aside.
For filling:.
Beat cream cheese and melted baking chocolate in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until combined.
Add sugar, beating mixture until smooth.
Add eggs, sour cream and vanilla; beat on low speed until just combined. DO NOT OVERBEAT.
Pour filling into crust-lined pan.
Place pan on a shallow baking pan in the oven.
Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes or until center appears nearly set when gently shaken. (This cheesecake puffs during baking then settles as it cooks); DO NOT OVERBAKE!
Remove springform pan from baking pan and cool on wire rack for 15 minutes.
Use a small metal spatula to loosen the sides of pan and cool for another hour.
Cover and chill for an additional 4 hours.
For sauce:.
Melt preserves in a small saucepan over low heat.
Add berries.
Heat gently just until sauce simmers; cool.
To serve:.
Cut cheesecake into wedges and drizzle some of the sauce over and around each serving.
TIP: to toast almonds, place almonds in a non-stick pan and stir over medium-high heat until they start to brown. I add a tad of butter to assist with the browning process.
