1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 lb. white chocolate, melted
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 lb. semisweet chocolate, broken into small pieces, or 3/4 lb. semisweet chocolate chips


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt 3 Tbs. butter and mix with crumbs. Press onto bottom of 9 inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes. Beat cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in melted white chocolate and pour over crust. Bake 40 minutes, turn off oven and let cake cool inside the oven as it cools down. Loosen cake from rim of pan and cool completely. Chill at least 4 hours. Remove rim.

Heat next 2 ingredients and 2 Tbs. sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Stir to dissolve sugar crystals and then bring to a boil.
