Sounds good but I will skip the nuts.

I don't mind the nuts, but the almond extract has no place in
cheesecake. As a minor quibble, I prefer to make the crust
from coarse graham cracker crumbs, butter, and a little
brown sugar. Our filling uses less sugar, so the net effect
isn't any sweeter. And we use the traditional sour-cream
topping, which adds additional tanginess.

i could enjoy it once in a while, but not in
every one i made.

i think my favorite three places to use almond extract
are in cream cheese poundcake muffins (along with some
lemon oil flavoring - not much of either because you do
not want them to be the dominant flavors at all), black
walnut cookies frosting and when making baily's.

Almond extract makes anything taste like maraschino cherries. No, thanks.
