My only regret was not doubling the recipe because this went FAST! It was incredibly delicious without being too sweet. The plus is the presentation once you cut it and serve the slices on a platter. You have to keep an eye out when melting the white chocolate! That stuff likes to burn rather quickly, just keep stirring and you will be fine. Doing it again for a dinner party this weekend but it's perfect for any occasion.

I made this for Christmas and it was a huge hit - many requests for the recipe! I doubled the recipe and baked it about 35 minutes. Just be careful when melting the white chocolate in the microwave, as it can burn very quickly. Trust me - it is no fun trying to find an open store, that carries white Baker's chocolate, on Christmas Eve.

So excited to make this recipe. Question though - if I make the crust and cheesecake part tonight, leave it in the fridge overnight, put the preserves on the in the morning, leave in fridge for day ... you think it will be ok? i have a party tomorrow night but don't want it to get soggy if making it tonight.

I LOVE cheesecake and I LOVE raspberry so I was really excited to make this. I made this last Christmas and, unfortunately, it wasn't as good as I was expecting. I don't know if it was the brand of white chocolate I used or what, but it just didn't wow me. Might give it another shot in the future.

I used a ready made chocolate pie shell. The ingrediants fit perfect in the pie shell. This is so decadent, I have had several people say there was no way this is homemade, it taste just like Cheese Cake Factory.

I recently entered a Chocolate Jamboree where I was judged & won second place with this recipe! It was the first time I made it, so super easy. I had been reading many reviews to find an award winning recipe & so glad that I decided to go with this one. Of course, I would have rather won first, but all & all would definitely make it again. After reading other reviews I added an extra block of Chocolate to make sure it had that white chocolate taste & warm up the raspberry topping, which makes it easier to apply.
