Steps:

  • For Cookie Ring: Use 32 round chocolate-dipped wafer cookies. Place cookies in ring 81/2" springform pan. For cheesecake: Beat 500g softened cream cheese until smooth; blend in ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar. Sprinkle 7g envelop unflavoured gelatin over 1/2cup almond liqueur. Let stand 5 min. Stir over low heat until gelatin dissolves. Blend warm gelatin into cheese mixture. Beat 1 cup whipping cream; fold into cheese mixture. Set aside 1 cup of this mixture. Melt 6 squares semi-sweet chocolate; cool. Fold into remaining cheese mixture. Spread all but ½ cup chocolate mixture into prepared pan; spread plain mixture evenly on top. Top with remaining chocolate mixture; swirl with knife to marble. Chill at least 3 hours. For garnish: Dip whole unblanched almonds in chocolate. Chill. Place on top of cookies, around cake.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cream cheese. Full-fat cream cheese will give you the richest, creamiest cheesecake. If you're looking for a lighter option, you can use low-fat or non-fat cream cheese, but your cheesecake will be less creamy and may have a slightly sour taste.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients and prevent lumps.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cheesecake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking and will give it a more even bake.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help the cheesecake set properly and will make it easier to cut and serve.
