Whip the Cream

  3. Delicately fold in the fresh raspberries.
Fill and Chill

  2. Remove from heat, add the chopped white chocolate, and stir until smooth.
  3. Allow to cool slightly before pouring over the chilled cheesecake.

  3. Slice, serve, and watch everyone fall in love with your creation!

Notes

Try using different fruits like strawberries or blueberries for variations. This cheesecake works great as a make-ahead dessert too.
