Absolutely delicious cheesecake - the tart raspberry sauce compliments the rich cheesecake beautifully. Followed Eliece's advice to cook for less than the proscribed hour - very glad I did as it was perfect once cooled. Do not hesitate to try this recipe - you won't be sorry!

Followed the oreo crust suggestions and OMG!!! I made this for my husband who loves white chocolate and I am not sure which one of us loved this more.

definitely take the extra step and make the raspberry reduction. It is far better than using the seedless store-bought jam/preserves. Great recipe!

this was a very delicious cake. and beautiful too! i made this for father's day for a cheesecake loving dad and he loved it! i decorated it with some white chocolate shavings and a rose in the middle/top. i suggest using a water bath for baking your cheesecake so it doesn't crack. its very easy. look it up on YouTube and it will show you how to do it. now for the not so good part. i was surprised to see how thin the crust on the bottom of the cake was. next time, i will double the crust's thickness. overall, very tasty cheesecake. (especially with raspberry sauce on top!)

I made this for my in-laws and it was a complete hit (as everyone has already mentioned). This was also my first time making a cheesecake, and it was completely doable. Bringing everything to room temperature first does make the process a lot easier. Also, I used real raspberries, and it was a pain draining out the seeds; however, the sauce was so amazing, and that was basically (no pun intended) the icing on the cake. Everybody was raving about how great the white chocolate flavor coincided with the sweet and tart flavors of the raspberry sauce. Everyone in the family went back for seconds, and some even went back for thirds! I would definitely make this again. Actually, I would make two for any occasion because this cake goes so quickly!!!! And before I forget, for the crust, I used Peppridge Farms Captiva Chocolate Brownie cookies for the crust. :)

It's better than some of the restaurants I've been too and I let them know that too. Taste good with strawberry too.

This turned out really well. The consistency was just right. I made the raspberry sauce as the recipe states and it was very yummy even with seeds (I didn't have the right strainer or maybe my sauce was too thick). Cooking time was just right. The only objection I have is that I used as much white chocolate as it said but I can't really taste it. The cream cheese over whelms it. Not hard to make at all.

It was WELL worth every calorie!! It was really easy to make which is also a plus. As some others mentioned, the only thing I did different was bake it in a water bath. I made it last night and just had my first piece now. OMG I'm in heaven!!!

It wasn't so much the taste I didn't like it was the texture. It was like eating a solid block of flavoured cream cheese. Far too thick for my liking, I couldn't eat it.

Im not sure if I should actually rate this recipe or not- I used it as a base but I changed so many things that its hardly the same cheesecake any more. I didnt have white chocolate chips so I used regular chocolate- I prefer chocolate over white chocolate anyways. Rather than making it a full chocolate cheesecake I reserved some of the batter and left it vanilla and made it into a marble raspberry swirl cheesecake. I read the other reviews and just used raspberry preserves instead of making my own and that worked really well. I didnt use all the butter for the crust, it got a bit soupy after about half.
