Combine the sour cream, sugar and Amaretto, stirring well. Spoon over cheesecake. Bake at 500° for 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate 24 to 48 hours. Garish with grated chocolate and almonds.

For special occasions, real whipped cream applied with pastry tube makes a pretty top edge.
