When I ran across this recipe from the Pioneer Woman, I knew I had to try it. It is rich, cool and fruity cheesecake. Satisfied the sweet tooth in me! To make it easier I used an already made chocolate crust and topped with chocolate chunks.
White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
1 pint raspberries
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup granulated sugar
One 10-ounce package shortbread cookies
4 tablespoons butter, softened
One 12-ounce package white chocolate chips
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Set aside 8 to 12 raspberries for garnish. Put the remaining raspberries in a saucepan with the lemon juice and 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Strain out the seeds and set aside to cool. In a food processor, add the cookies, butter, 1/3 cup of the white chocolate chips and the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and pulse until finely chopped. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Refrigerate while you make the filling. Set aside about 1 tablespoon of white chocolate chips for garnish. In a double boiler or a microwave, melt the remaining white chocolate chips. Set aside to cool a bit. In a mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and vanilla until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Slowly add the melted chocolate and beat to incorporate. Pour in the raspberry puree and beat to incorporate. Spread the raspberry mixture into the crust and decorate with the reserved raspberries. Chop up the reserved chocolate chips and scatter over the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
