Wonderful White Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe - Hidden White Chocolate Cheesecake
This white chocolate cheesecake is a great blend between a plain cheesecake and a chocolate cheesecake. It is not too rich but sweet enough to keep you interested. This is another recipe that my grandma taught me to make as we worked together in her kitchen. Every time I make this recipe.
This cheesecake, similar to many of the others, is great for easy entertaining, extravagant parties, or everyday enjoyment. It presents itself beautifully! Like most cheesecakes, it takes a while to make but the result will be well worth the wait. With this recipe, it's a lot of fun to experiment with different sauces to drizzle over the top of the cake, although my favorite has always been chocolate.
If your family is anything like mine, this white chocolate cheesecake will only last a couple of days because it is so delicious; lucky for you it can serve up to 20 people!
This Hidden White Chocolate Cheesecake is not only delicious but is super easy to make and only takes about 20 minutes of prep time. This easy delight is sure to both please and make your dessert the hit of any get-together and will have your friends and family clamoring around asking how you had the time to such a scrumptious dessert.

Traditionally, cheesecakes are served cold so go ahead and put your new white chocolate cheesecake into the refrigerator. Chill for at least four hours before serving.
Once the chilling time has passed, be sure to remove the cheesecake from the fridge and let it sit on the counter for about ten minutes prior to slicing. It just makes it a little easier to slice if it is not so cold.
I know you can hardly wait, so go ahead, choose your prettiest plate, and cut that first perfect slice. Then take the time to sit down, put up your feet, and enjoy a little taste of heaven on earth as you sink your teeth into the scrumptious Wonderful White Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe. Yummy!
