--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                       -----CRUST-----
  2       c            Graham cracker crumbs
  1       c            Ground almonds
    1/4   c            Clarified butter in liquid
                       Form
                       -----FILLING-----
  8       oz           Fine-quality white chocolate
  4                    8oz packages cream cheese
    1/2   c            +2 tablespoons sugar
  4       lg           Eggs
  2       lg           Egg yolks
  2       T            Flour
  1       t            Vanilla
  2       pt           Raspberries

 Crust:  Blend together the graham crumbs and the almonds, add the butter
 and combine mixture well. Press the mixture onto the bottom and two thirds
 up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan.

 Filling:  In a double boiler melt the chocolate, stirring until it is
 smooth, and remove the bowl from the heat. In a large bowl with an electric
 mixer beat the cream cheese until it is light and fluffy; add the sugar and
 beat in the whole eggs and egg yolks, 1 at a time and beating well after
 each addition.  Beat in the flour and the vanilla, and add the melted
 chocolate in a slow stream, beating until the filling is well combined.

 Scatter the raspberries over the bottom of the crust, pour filling over
 them, and bake the cheesecake in the middle of a preheated 250F oven for 1
 hour, or until top is firm to the touch. Let the cheesecake cool in the pan
 on a rack; chill, covered loosely, overnight. Remove side of pan to serve.
