List of Ingredients
1/2 lb white chocolate,melted
1 1/2 lb cream cheese
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon grated orange or lemon rind
3 single eggs
1/2 cup cream plus 3 tb
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
12 single phyllo sheets
1 single melted butter
Recipe
1. While chocolate melts in double boiler, use a mixer on low speed and blend cheese, sugar and orange or lemon rind until smooth. (Do not use low-fat cheese in this recipe) Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by cream and vanilla.
2. Add a little of the cheese mixture to the warmed chocolate, then stir this mixture into remaining cheese mixture.
3. Spoon mixture into a buttered 9-inch layer cake pan, lined with parchment paper. Set in a pan, and pour in hot water until it reaches halfway up the pan. Bake in a 350 F. oven, adding more water if needed, until set and lightly browned on top, about 1 hour.
4. Remove from oven, let cool, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
5. To serve, lightly brush each 8 - 12- inch square of phyllo pastry with melted butter. Gently remove each slice of cheesecake from pan. Wrap a sheet of prepared phyllo pastry around each piece, folding until cake is covered with three layers. Trim excess pastry.
6. Brush each dessert with additional melted butter. Place on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 R. oven for 10 minutes, or until phyllo begins to brown.
Transfer to dessert plates and decorate with fruit purees.
