Ingredients

For the crust:

1 cup slivered almonds
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (7 ounces)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted

For filling:

8 ounces fine-quality white chocolate
4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
4 whole large eggs
2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups fresh raspberries (11 ounces)
Fresh raspberries, for garnish

Directions

Make crust: Finely grind almonds and crumbs in a food processor and add butter, blending until combined. Press over bottom and 2/3 up side of a 10-inch springform pan.

Make filling: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt chocolate in double boiler or a large metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth, and remove from heat.

Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy, then beat in sugar. Add whole eggs and yolks, 1 at a time, beating well at low speed and scraping down bowl after each addition.

Beat in flour and vanilla until just combined, then add melted chocolate in a slow stream, beating until filling is well-combined. Arrange berries in 1 layer over crust and pour filling into crust. Bake in the middle of the oven until cake is set 3 inches from edge but center is still wobbly when pan is gently shaken, 45 to 55 minutes.

Run a thin knife around edge of cake to loosen, then cool completely in pan on a rack. (Cake will continue to set as it cools.) Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Some warm raspberry jam swirled in with a knife, makes it look pretty and add a bit more raspberry flavor, especially if your... fresh raspberries are on the tart side the extra sugar can counteract their sour taste. One of my family's favorite cheesecakes.Read more

Best cheese cake ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have a cheese cake recipe that I have been using for years and this recipe will take it's place! It is so easy to make. I... read some of the reviews which was very helpful. My husband loves cheese cake but does not like nuts so I left out the almonds in the crust. Instead of using graham crackers, I used whole pkg. of Keeblers Sandies Simply Shortbread cookies. I crushed them in a ziplock bag and added 1/4 c. melted butter. I heated some strawberry jam and spread a thin layer over the cookie crust and added thin slices of fresh strawberries on top of the jam. I used the rest of the jam for drizzling over slices just before serving. I added more chocolate as advised by others. I used 24 oz. (buy 32oz & use the other 8oz for the topping) I also used 1/2 tea. of cream of tartar so the cake would not crack when baking. When the cake cooled I used my veggie peeler and added the 8oz of chocolate shavings on top. I garnished with 4 fresh strawberries on top! Beautiful & Delish !!! Thank you all for all your wonderful tips!!!Read more

My Brother's favorite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It is my brother's favorite kind of cheesecake. I have made it for him twice and both times it was just awsome. I added... raspberry syrup to marble on the top to add that extra asthetic appeal. When I madde it for my father's friends from church they proclaimed that it was better than the cheesecake factory cheesecake and any other kind of cheesecake they had ever had. It has never cracked on me and it was always a crowd pleaser.Read more

Yummy!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was so very good. I made it with my brother yesterday (he is 14 and wanted to bring something to Thanksgiving), and we... had it tonight. I loved the way the raspberries in the bottom of the crust looked. I took all the advice given throughout these reviews: toasted the almonds, added cream of tartar, let the crust cool in the fridge, and added extra chocolate. Everyone was impressed with it, even my mom who has always been the baker in the family. I probably cooked it for the full 55 minutes. Oh, and we used neufchatel cheese, to cut down on the fat a little, and it came out just perfect.Read more
