Source of Recipe

Celeste Zeccola, Carlos Restaurant, Highland Park Illinois


List of Ingredients

1 tablespoon instant espresso granules
1 tablespoon water
16 ounces cream cheese
2 cups mascarpone cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup Godiva Liqueur
4 large eggs
9 ounces white chocolate, melted


Recipe

Dissolve espresso in water and set aside. In a food processor or mixer, combine the cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, sugar, Godiva, and espresso until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in white chocolate and pour into a 9-inch springform pan. Wrap plastic film around the bottom and sides of the pan and bake in a water bath in a preheated 350ºF oven for 45 minutes. Turn off oven and let cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Remove to the refrigerator until ready to serve; garnish with fresh raspberries and mint. NOTES : It does not say whether to preheat the water bath. I suspect one should.
