What's the best way to start 2022? With dessert, obviously! This cheesecake has a smooth white chocolate filling and raspberry sauce with a chocolate cookie crust, which made New Year extra special!
About the Cheesecake
Cheesecakes are one of my favorite types of desserts, and the white chocolate and raspberry was the best flavor combination for a cheesecake! I chose to use Oreo cookies for the crust, and it tasted amazing (buying a huge pack of Oreo cookies also gave me a chance to sneak a few of them in my mouth while baking)! I put around five to six tablespoons of the raspberry sauce on the top of the cheesecake, which made the swirls look really nice and bright, even after the cheesecake had been baked. I don't think I'll ever get tired of white chocolate and raspberry, and I can't wait until I can make this cheesecake again!
This was my first time ever baking a cheesecake, so I was very anxious the whole time! It was fun, but stressful too. I dreaded the hot water bath step because I thought that the cheesecake would crack or I would drop the cheesecake on accident, so I was really, really relieved when my cheesecake was safely out of the oven with no problems! I wrapped the outside of the cheesecake pan with aluminum foil because I have read that that's an important step to include while baking a cheesecake, and it definitely helped the cheesecake have a smooth appearance and texture. It was really fun to celebrate New Year with this cheesecake and see my family's expressions when they ate it; the cheesecake went well with the dinner that my family and I planned too! I think that one of the hardest parts of making a cheesecake is the amount of time that you have to wait for it to completely cool down in the fridge. But, it was worth it in the end because I was very satisfied when I took the first bite (and then I completely devoured it)!
