Ingredients

- ½ cup crushed almonds
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup sliced almonds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, crushed almonds, and melted butter. Mix until well combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fully combined.
- Assemble: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Garnish and Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with sliced almonds on top before slicing and serving.
