August loves amaretto gelato from the shop down the street. I decided to make his amaretto cheesecake for his birthday. Cream cheese, sour cream and Disaronno are the main ingredients. I wanted to make a crust out of amaretti cookies but couldn't find any at the store so I opted for graham crackers instead. Nilla wafer is another crust I may try as the graham cracker taste was a little too prominent. The cheesecake was baked in the oven for an hour then cooled for another hour in the oven. Sadly it cracked about 20 minutes before I removed it.
The cheesecake was brushed with an amaretto glaze of Disaronno, melted butter and fine sugar, then garnished with toasted almonds and whipped cream.
