1 Sara lee original cream
cheesecake; frozen 17 oz
One half cup Sliced blanched almonds
One fourth cup Cocoa powder

Remove cheesecake from foil container and place on a sheet of wax paper;

paper, leaving the outer edge (approximately 1 One half inches at widest point)
exposed. Place strainer over exposed edge and tap rim lightly to dust cake.

To make the middle stripe, use two sheets of paper to cover the outer
thirds of the cake, leaving the middle exposed. Repeat cocoa dusting.
Repeat template procedure for outer edge on opposite side of cake and dust
with cocoa. Using two large pancake spatulas, carefully transfer cake to a
serving plate.
