WHITE CHOCOLATE
CHEESECAKE WITH BERRY SAUCE Start this luscious dessert one day in advance so it has time to chill.
PREP TIME 20 MIN.–COOK TIME 1 HOUR 15 MIN. + COOL TIME 5 HOURS 30 MIN.–READY IN 7 HOURS 5 MIN.–SERVINGS 16
baking spray 1 (10 oz) box shortbread cookies 1 stick butter
²∕³ cup sugar 2 (12 oz) bags frozen berry medley
1¹∕³ cups part-skim ricotta cheese
STEP 1 Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line the bottom of a 9-inch spring form pan with parchment paper. Spray parchment and pan sides with baking spray. STEP 2 Finely grind the cookies in a food processor. Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the butter and 3 tbsp of the sugar to the food processor and pulse to combine. Spread the mixture over the bottom of the spring form pan and press lightly with the back of a spoon. Bake for 15 min. Remove from oven and set aside to cool for 15 min. STEP 3 While crust bakes, place the berries, 3 tbsp of the sugar and 3 tbsp water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until berries release their liquid, 5 min. Place a wire-mesh sieve over a bowl and strain the fruit, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids. Set sauce aside to cool, stirring occasionally. STEP 4 While the sauce cools, stir together the ricotta and cream cheese in a large bowl and mix in the remaining sugar and vanilla extract. STEP 5 Mix the chocolate chips and sour cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 min. Stir until chocolate melts, microwaving in 15 second increments if necessary (do not overheat). Whisk in the eggs one at a time and fold into the cheese mixture until well combined and no lumps remain.
STEP 6 Spoon 1∕³ of the cheese mixture over the crust in the spring form pan. Drizzle over 1∕³ cup of the berry sauce. Repeat twice, using all of the filling mixture. Set extra berry
sauce aside. To create a marble pattern, draw a skewer through the mixture a few times. STEP 7 Place the pan in a large roasting tin or baking dish and pour boiling water into the roasting tin until it comes halfway up the side of the spring form pan. Bake 1 hour. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 30 min. Remove cheesecake from the oven and cool on a baking rack for 1 hour (cake will still jiggle slightly in the center). Cover with foil and chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve with remaining berry sauce.
