How To Make white chocolate cheesecake with almond macaroon crust

  • 1
    Beat cream cheese and sugar until cream cheese is light and fluffy. Beat in melted white chocolate. Put bowl in larger bowl with warm water to keep chocolate from firming up too rapidly while you whip the cream. Beat cream with vanilla and rum until stiff. Remove bowl from water bath and beat in whipped cream until blended. Pour mixture into prepared crust and refrigerate until firm. Top can be decorated with grated semi sweet chocolate and chocolate leaves. Or you may prefer to spoon a little raspberries in syrup on the top at serving time. Either are delicious accompaniments. This dessert can be made a day ahead and stored in refrigerator. While chocolate can be melted in top of a double oiler over hot, not boiling water. When you make this glorious dessert, you will wonder how anything so extravagantly delicious could be so easy. A further bonus, this mousselike cheesecake does not have to be baked and can be assembled in very little time. Source: Renny Darling
