the crumb mixture and stir until moistened.

Oil a 10-inch springform pan. Pat the mixture into the
bottom of the pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool.

Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.

To make filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the
cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, one
at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in
the sour cream, flour, vanilla, almond extract and
chopped chocolate. Pour into crust- lined pan and bake
for 1 hour or until center moves slightly.

To make topping: Mix sour cream with brown sugar and
pour over cheesecake. Return to oven and bake 15
minutes longer. Cool completely, then refrigerate
overnight.

To make glaze: Heat the whipping cream over medium
heat, add the chopped chocolate and stir until smooth.
