Put the cookies and saltines in the bowl of the food processor and process until they are crumbs.
Add the melted butter and process to smaller crumbs but not paste.
Pour the crumbs into the bottom of a springform pan and pat the crust down to flatten it. Set the crust aside.
Filling
Add the cream cheese, almond extract, cocoa and powdered sugar to the bowl of the stand mixer.
Using the paddle attachment, mix together until they are completely mixed and no white steaks reman.
Switch to the whisk attachment and slowly start adding the cream. Keep whipping until the mixture has lightened and still holds together. Do not let the mixture become a liquid.
Spoon the filling into the crust.
Use a off-set spatula to spread out and flatten the filling.
Refrigerate the tort for at least 4 hours.
Topping
When the tort is completely chilled remove it from the refrigerator and generously sprinkle cocoa on top.
