    RECIPE:

    Almond Cheesecake
    Serving: 16
    Cook Time: 1 hour 25 minutes
    Total Time: 2 hours plus chilling

    INGREDIENTS:
    40 amaretti cookies (about 3 cups)
    4 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
    1 1/4 cups sugar
    1/4 cup cornstarch
    2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
    1 container (15 ounces) part -skim ricotta cheese
    4 large eggs
    1 1/2 cups half-and -half or light cream
    1/4 cup almond-flavor liqueur
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    Sugared cranberries for garnish

    DIRECTIONS:
    1. In food processor, with knife blade attached, blend cookies until fine crumbs form
    (you should have about 1 cup crumbs).
    2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In 9 -inch by 3 -inch springform pan, with fork, stir
    cookie crumbs and margarine until evenly moistened. With hand, press mixture
    firmly onto bottom of pan. Bake crust 10 minutes. Cool crust completely in pan on
    wire rack, about 30 minutes. Wrap outside of pan with foil.
    3. Turn oven control to 325 degrees F. In small bowl, with wire whisk or fork, mix
    sugar and cornstarch. In large bowl, with mixer and medium speed, beat cream
    cheese and ricotta until smooth, about 3 minutes. At low speed, slowly beat in sugar
    mixture, then eggs, half -and -half, liqueur, and vanilla just until blended, scraping
    bowl often with rubber spatula (cream -cheese mixture will be very thin.)
    4. Pour cheese mixture onto crust. Bake cheesecake 1 hour and 15 minutes or until
    filing is firm 2 inches from edge of pan and center is still jiggly. Turn off oven; let
    cheesecake remain in oven 1 hour longer. Remove cheesecake from oven. Cook
    completely in pan on wire rack. Cover and refrigerate cheesecake at least 6 hours or
    overnight until well chilled. (Cheesecake will firm during chilling.)

    TIPS:
    Do-ahead tip: This cheesecake freezes beautifully. After thoroughly chilling as recipe directs in step 4,
    remove sides of springform pan from cheesecake and wrap tightly to freeze up to 2 weeks. Unwrap to thaw.
    If you want to preslice for easy serving, do it while still partially frozen.
