White Chocolate Cheesecake

CRUST
1 3/4 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
6 tablespoon Unsalted Melted Butter
1 tablespoon sugar

CHEESECAKE
10 oz. White Chocolate, broken up
1/2 cup whipping cream (at room temperature)
16 oz. Cream Cheese (at room temperature)
4 eggs, separated (at room temperature)
4 tsps. vanilla extract
dash of salt

TOPPING
6 oz. White Chocolate, broken up
1/4 cup whipping cream (at room temperature)
2 tablespoon light creme-de-cacao

CRUST
In a small bowl, stir together crumbs, melted butter and sugar until well combined and wet. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and 2/3 the way up the sides of a buttered 9-inch springform pan. Melt Chocolate in top of a double boiler over hot, NOT BOILING, water.

CHEESECAKE
Slowly stir in the cream, and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, and using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth but DO NOT OVERBEAT or you will get Grand-Canyon sized cracks during baking. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating until incorporated after each. Add white chocolate mixture, vanilla and salt. Beat at medium speed for about 2 minutes.

Beat egg whites in another bowl at slow speed until frothy, then increase speed and whip until the soft peak stage. Fold the whites into the cheese mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15 minutes. Without opening the oven door, reduce the heat to 200 degrees F. and bake for 70 minutes or until the center no longer looks wet and shiny. Remove the cake from the oven and run a thin knife blade around the inside edge of the pan. Turn the oven off and put the cake back in for another 30 minutes. Allow to cool at room temperature and chill overnight.

TOPPING
Melt chocolate in double boiler over simmering water. Slowly stir in cream, stirring until mixture is smooth. Stir in creme-de-cacao. Pour topping over cool cake. Cover with plastic wrap and chill over night.

IMPORTANT
This cheesecake should be served at room temperature!

Makes 10 to 12 slices
