Time 1h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

2 cups crushed chocolate graham crackers or wafers
1/2 cup sliced almonds
7 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup sliced almonds
5 tablespoons butter, room temperature
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt, such as Fage, room temperature

Yield Makes 1 Cake

Number Of Ingredients 22

For chocolate-almond crust
3/4 cup blanched whole almonds, toasted lightly
20 thin chocolate wafer cookies
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
For cherry topping
3/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 tablespoon water
3 cups pitted picked-over fresh tart cherries (about 2 pints)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
For cheese filling
two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
an 8-ounce container sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup cherry juice reserved from making topping

Steps:

  • Make crust:

  • In a food processor pulse almonds until ground. Add chocolate wafer cookies and grind fine. Add butter, sugar, almond extract, and salt and pulse until combined well. Transfer mixture to a 9-inch springform pan and press evenly onto bottom and 1 inch up side. Bake crust in middle of oven 10 minutes and transfer to a rack to cool. Crust may be made 3 days ahead and kept, covered, at room temperature.
  • Make topping:
  • In a very small bowl sprinkle gelatin over water and let stand about 1 minute to soften. In a heavy saucepan bring cherries, sugar, and lemon juice to a boil, stirring. Remove pan from heat and reserve 1/2 cup juice for filling. To mixture remaining in pan add gelatin mixture and almond extract and stir until gelatin is dissolved.
  • Make filling:
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Beat in flour and add eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in sour cream, vanilla, and reserved cherry juice until combined well.
  • Pour filling into crust and bake in middle of oven 50 minutes. (Cake will not be set in center but will set as it cools.) Transfer cake in pan to a rack to cool completely. Chill cake, loosely covered, 1 hour. Remove side of pan and transfer cake to a plate. Spread topping evenly over cake. Chill cake, loosely covered, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients.
  • Use a springform pan for the cheesecake to make it easy to remove the cheesecake from the pan.
  • Do not overbeat the cheesecake batter, as this can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
  • For a chocolate crust with a stronger chocolate flavor, use a higher cocoa content chocolate.
  • If you don't have almond flour, you can substitute it with graham cracker crumbs or crushed vanilla wafers.
  • Top the cheesecake with fresh cherries or a cherry pie filling for a classic presentation.
