The people where my husband and son works had a holiday lunch about 4 yrs. ago. This man had brought this white chocolate cheesecake. My son fell in love with this cake. He got the recipe and shared it with me. This is so rich and delicious. The man told my son, the trick to this cheesecake is to bake it in a pampered chef springform pan, & a hot water bath. It has a glass bottom in this pan. So of course we had to order the pan.

Wrap the pan in tin foil, so the water cannot enter the pan. Make sure the foil is up around the sides.
