Mini White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecakes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F.
• Combine cookie crumbs and butter; press onto bottoms of 12 paper-lined muffin cups, adding about 1 Tbsp. crumb mixture to each cup.
• Beat cream cheese, vanilla and 1/2 cup sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add melted chocolate; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Spoon over crusts.
• Reserve 12 raspberries for garnish. Process remaining raspberries with remaining sugar in food processor or blender until smooth. Pour through fine-mesh strainer into bowl. Discard strained solids.
• Pour strained raspberry sauce into resealable plastic bag. Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag; use to pipe 3 small dots raspberry sauce onto batter in each muffin cup. Use toothpick to swirl raspberry sauce into heart-shaped designs as shown in photo.
• Bake 18 to 20 min. or until centers of cheesecakes are almost set. Cool cheesecakes completely. Refrigerate 2 hours.
• Cut reserved raspberries in half; place, cut sides down, on tops of cheesecakes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 16 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Crumble the prepared graham cracker crust; evenly distribute crumbs into the bottom of the prepared muffin cups. Press crumbs down to create a firmer crust.
• Blend cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar and mix until well blended. Mix in vanilla and salt. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until blended.
• Distribute cream cheese mixture evenly among the muffin cups; it should be about 3 tablespoons for each cup. Add 1/2 teaspoon raspberry puree on top of each cheesecake. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the puree to create a marble design on each one.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
• Refrigerate before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together cookie crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
• In a saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to boil, and continue boiling 5 minutes, or until sauce is thick. Strain sauce through a mesh strainer to remove seeds.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt white chocolate chips with half-and-half, stirring occasionally until smooth.
• In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in vanilla and melted white chocolate. Pour half of batter over crust. Spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over batter. Pour remaining cheesecake batter into pan, and again spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over the top. Swirl batter with the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect.
• Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until filling is set. Cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours before removing from pan. Serve with remaining raspberry sauce.
