Instruction

  • Prepare the raspberry coulis.  In a small saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Add raspberries and bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Simmer for 5 minutes and remove from heat. Sieve the sauce to remove seeds and set aside to cool down until ready to use.
  • Prepare the crust. Place the oreo cookies into the bowl of a food processor and crush until crumbs form. Add melted butter and process until evenly moistened.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 8 inch (20 cm) springform pan using the back of a spoon.  Refrigerate until the filling is prepared.
  • Prepare the filling. Place white chocolate and the 4 tbsp of cream into a heatproof bowl and place over a pan with simmering water. Melt over low heat.
  • In a large bowl mix cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, lemon zest and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Mix in melted chocolate and set aside.
  • In another bowl mix whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate and cream cheese mixture.
  • Pour the filling over the prepared crust, use an offset spatula to spread it evenly.
  • Place the raspberry coulis into a piping bag fitted with a plain small tip and pipe small circles in a swirl pattern on the top of the cheesecake.
  • Use a toothpick and run it into the center of each circle to create heart shapes.
  • Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or better overnight.
  • Serve with more raspberry coulis alongside. Enjoy!
