and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to lukewarm.
3.In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a

time. Fold in the almond extract and sour cream. Pour 1 1/2 cups of the filling into a smaller bowl.

Stir the melted chocolate into the smaller bowl, then fold loosely back into plain filling. Pour

into crust. With the tip of a knife, swirl the filling to create a marbled effect.

with the door closed. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.
