Amaretto Cheesecake #3 – We Love God!

No created being was ever meant to be idle. Service and work is the appointed portion of every creature of God. The angels in heaven work – they are the Lord's ministering servants, always doing His will. Adam, in Paradise, had work – he was appointed to work and take care of the garden of Eden. And man, weak, sinful man, must have something to do, or else his soul will soon get into an unhealthy state. We must keep our hands busy, and our minds occupied with something, or else our imaginations will soon ferment and breed mischief.

GMT CRUST: Heat oven to 350. Grease  10" springform pan and line with
greased parchment. Line a cookie  sheet with greased parchment. Whisk
together eggs and vanilla. Remove  as much skin from the hazelnuts as
you can and process them with one  cup of the powdered sugar for 30
seconds. Add both sugars and process  briefly to combine. With
processer running, pour in egg mixture and  process for 15 seconds or
until smooth. Reserve 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the  batter.  Pour remaining
batter into the springform pan and smooth  with spatula. Pour reserved
batter onto the cookie sheet and spread  out into a 7-8" disk. Bake
crust 25-30 minutes; disk 20-25 minutes.  Cool on a wire rack. Chop up
the disk into 1/8" pieces and soak in  1/4 cup amaretto (not for more
than 15 minutes).  FILLING: Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup amaretto, let
stand 5 min.  Heat in sauce pan with hot (not boiling) water stirring
for 4 min.  Leave in hot water to stay warm. Beat cream cheese with
mixer for 1  minute. Add lemon juice and zest. Beat cream to soft
peaks. Fold 1/3  cream into cream cheese. Fold in remaining whipped
cream and soaked  macaroon bits. Pour into prepared pan, cover with
plastic wrap.  Refrigerate at least 3 hours or preferably overnight.
