NB: Already a rich dessert, this cheesecake is made even more delicious by the addition of chocolate and amaretto. As cheesecakes are egg-based, it is very important to cook at a low-temperature and to store in the refrigerator.

Combine crumbs, sugar and melted butter and press into bottom and halfway up sides of greased 8-inch spirngform pan. Chill while making filling.
