Categories: Cheesecakes, Chocolate
Yield: 10 servings

1 pk Swiss chocolate cake mix
1/3 c Amaretto liquor
2 c Heavy cream
2 tb Confectioner's sugar
1/4 c Amaretto liquor
6 oz Semisweet chocolate morsels

Prepare cake as directed on box using 1/3 cup Amaretto in
place of water in directions. Bake in 2, 8" greased cake
pans, following package directions. Cool in pans 10
minutes. Remove and continue to cool on racks. Even tops
if necessary. In a chilled deep bowl, beat cream,
confectioner's sugar until almost stiff, add 1/4 cup
Amaretto and beat until stiff. Place one layer on serving
plate and spread with 1 cup of cream mixture. Top with
second layer and frost. Chill 4 hours. Melt chocolate
morsels over hot water until smooth. Spread in a 1/4" thick
layer on foil and chill until firm enough to cut. With
different size cookie cutters cut out trees from the
chocolate.

If you don't have a tree cutter you can make a pattern on
cardboard, cut it out and trace onto chocolate. Decorate
top of cake with trees or you can place trees the same size
over the sides of the cake and spinkle top with green
sugar. It is best to add the trees just before serving so
that they will not melt.
