2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs, rolled fine
3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
3 eggs

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 pint sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300°. Crush Oreo cookies, including frosting centers, to make 2 cups of fine crumbs. Press evenly into bottom of a 10-inch springform pan.

Whip cream cheese in a mixer bowl; gradually add sugar; then add eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla, almond extract, and maraschino cherry juice. Fold in maraschino cherries. Pour filling into crust. Bake 60 minutes.

Whip sour cream; add sugar and vanilla. Put half of sour cream topping on cheesecake; set remaining half aside. Melt chocolate chips and stir into the remaining sour cream topping. Then swirl this mixture into topping already on cheesecake. Return to oven and bake for 10 more minutes. Cool before removing sides from springform pan. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
