I had to take a picture of my slice because this hasn’t ever happened when I’ve cut it before. You’ll notice one of the hearts hanging over the side, I love art and this was a little piece of art to me and I had to share =). For White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake recipe click here

You will need a clean medicine syringe (preferably 2 tsp size, I always just ask for one at the local pharmacy, they’re free) and a toothpick or a sharp pointy knife. Also, you will need a fine mesh strainer. When I first started making this cheesecake I didn’t even own one. I decided I needed to purchase one for this cheesecake. So I invested in one, it was a well worth the cheap investment! They are only about $10-$15 at a local supermarket. When I first started making this cheesecake, about 5 years ago, I used to just randomly swirl the cheesecake. Then I got a brilliant idea… to fancy it up! I love all the artistic work of fine pastry chefs and I noticed how the heart is a big thing. So I had to try this, and ever since it’s been my go to swirled cheesecake!
This cheesecake will need time to set in the refrigerator so plan accordingly. If you are searching for that dessert to bring to the Thanksgiving or Christmas gathering that will get that “Wow! How did you do that?” factor without hours of hard work, then this is definitely the dessert you will want to make! Not only does it look delicious, it tastes equally delicious! The combination of white chocolate and raspberry is luxurious! Not to mention the rich flavor that comes from the chocolate crust. And I know, I know, your probably thinking, a pre-made store bought crust?! I figure if its already going to use the processed cookies then you may as well just get the pre-made crust. Besides, it’s one of the things that makes this cheesecake so simple and it saves some prep time! But if you’re a pre-made “snob” (like I am most of the time =) then feel free to make it in a spring-form pan, just double the cream cheese mixture and raspberry mixture and use your own chocolate wafer crust recipe.
Don’t worry about trying to make the heart swirl perfect. I get irritated every time I make it with some part of the swirl. Like this time for example, I was so frustrated because the swirl was off center and some of the hearts were too lop-sided. It will never be perfect =). Have fun making it and don’t stress too much about the look, art is never pefect, it’s unique! Also, this dessert makes for an amazing holiday gift to friends and family. I gave them out last year to family and friends and everyone was delighted! Enjoy! Happy Holidays!! From my kitchen to yours ~ Jaclyn
A great holiday gift!
