Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the sides of a 9-inch springform pan
with butter. In a bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs, almonds, and
melted butter until well blended and press into the bottom of the
springform pan. In another bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth and
creamy. Beat in the sour cream, mascarpone, eggs, sugar, and continue
beating until the mixture is very smooth, about 5 minutes. Add the
vanilla and orange juice and beat until incorporated, 1 minute. Pour the
filling into the prepared crust, and bake until brown and springy-firm,
about 1 1/2 hours. Allow to cool for 4 hours. Serve with peach coulis.
PEACH COULIS
Combine all in a small saucepan and cook over low heat for 15 minutes,
allowing it to form its own syrup. Cool and top either the whole
cheesecake or individual slices with this topping. Garnish with fresh
peach slices, mint and powdered sugar.
