Wow -- this is the best Cheesecake I've ever eaten. I didn't think I could make it because it seemed too complicated for me (I don't bake). Much to my surprise -- I did it and everyone absolutely loved it. I followed the recipe exactly but next time I think I'll also add the white chocolate to the entire batter. Just call me Chef Deb

I first made this cheesecake for a chocolic friend's birthday. Both she and friends could not stop raving about. In fact we had a be quiet on one occasion whilst my friend ate it. The only thing I did differently was to leave out the sugar and condensed milk and added 1/3 cup rum cream instead of the cream. I have made it several more times each time to rave reviews. I did not mix one part batter with the white chocolate the second and subsequent times I made it and found no difference. Without exception, all who have ate it says its the best cheesecake they've ever had - even better than Cheesecake Factory. Wow!

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
