White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
Recipe Reviews 4 reviews
Pepper-Crusted Beef Tenderloin with Chocolate-Port Sauce
We all enjoyed this dish. I made the mistake of using a dark 60% chocolate that was not bittersweet. Then I had to "doctor" the sauce by adding more balsalmic and salt. In the end it was good but you could taste the chocolate too much. Also, I made this for 8 people so I quadrupled the sauce when 2X the sauce would have been plenty.

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Very creamy and not too dry. But if you're going to roast the garlic for long enough to make the flavor mild, I suggest using more. For 3lbs potatoes I used 2 heads of garlic that I roasted for an hour. It was definitely not too much! Also added minced parsley and reduced the butter by half to remove some fat.

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
I agree with the others - this is really a top-rate cheesecake. The texture is divine; creamy yet not too soft and not too "cheesy". For the crust I used 2/3 package oreos, no sugar and 1/4c. melted butter drizzed into the food processor. This gave me a nice firm crust and enough crumbs to go a bit up the sides. Dickenson's seedless rasberry jam heated in the microwave made a perfect swirl and I drizzed more on top when I served it.
