    Recipe



    Prepare a CHOCOLATE WAFER COOKIE CRUMB CRUST in a springform pan. When the
    crust has completely cooled wrap the outside of the springform pan with a
    large piece of aluminum foil and place in a large baking pan with sides at
    least 2 inches high. Puree the raspberries in a food processor. Press
    puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Place 1/2 cup of the
    strained puree into a small bowl and mix in 1 tablespoon sugar and the lemon
    juice. Set aside and save remaining puree for another use. Preheat oven to
    175 degrees. In an ovenproof container, melt the chocolate, about 8 - 10
    minutes. Remove from the oven, stir until smooth and set aside. Increase
    oven temperature to 350 degrees. Put cream cheese in the bowl of an
    electric mixer and mix, on low, until smooth. Add 1 cups sugar and mix
    until smooth, about 1 minute. Mix in the flour. Add eggs, two at a time,
    mixing well after each addition. Make sure to scrape down sides of
    bowl. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Mix in the whipping cream
    then add the white chocolate. Pour into prepared crust. Drizzle raspberry
    sauce over cheesecake, then, using a small spoon, swirl into the batter,
    leaving swirls on the top. Do not disturb the crust. Put the cheesecake in
    the oven and pour 1 inch of hot water into the large baking pan. bake 1 hour,
    or until center is set. Remove cheesecake from oven and, while still in the
    water bath, cover loosely with paper towels and cool for 1 hour on a wire
    rack. Carefully remove from water bath, uncover, and allow to cool on rack
    an additional hour. Cheesecake should feel cool to the touch by now. Cover
    with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours to overnight before serving.
