List of Ingredients

CHEESECAKE:
1 1/4 cups sugar
24 ounces softened cream cheese
3 eggs
9 ounces good quality imported white chocolate
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup Amaretto

TOPPING:
1 cup sour cream
1 cup powdered sugar


Recipe

Use butter cookie or brown sugar cookie dough to make a crust. Or make a cookie crumb crust. Cheesecake: Beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Melt white chocolate with heavy cream (in double boiler or in microwave, but if using microwave, stop and stir every 20 seconds).

Beat white chocolate, Amaretto, and sour cream into batter. Beat a while longer. Bake in preheated 350ºF oven 55-60 minutes. If top starts to become too brown, cover w/ foil part-way through baking. Or refrigerate cake and just slice top off cheesecake when cool. Topping: Whisk together. Add a touch of Amaretto or vanilla. Spoon over top of cake, letting some drip over the sides. Serve w/ fresh fruit, if desired.
