White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
Doug's not a big fan of traditional birthday desserts, so I have to think outside the box for his cakes. This year's selection may very well become every year's selection. He LOVED it. I have a few recipe notes and recommendations:
- As usual, use a good quality chocolate (I used Ghirardelli). The cheap stuff will disappoint--no WOW factor.
- It's going to feel like you're not putting in enough sugar. And when you taste the batter, you might still feel an inclination to add more. DON'T. It's perfect. It bakes up light and not overpoweringly sweet and delicious with the fruit.
- I used raspberries and blackberries, which was super yummy, because raspberries were just so darn expensive and the blackberries were a little cheaper.
- Serve with strawberry sauce. Puree two cups of strawberries and two tablespoons of sugar, pour it into a fine mesh strainer to get rid of excess juice, and store in the fridge.
