How to Make White Chocolate Cheesecake Recipes 

By knowing how to make white chocolate cheesecake recipe, you can present a delicious dessert. It can be served plain, topped with almost any type of fruit topping or made with a fruit puree swirled through it. This is a great alternative to the chocolate cheesecake or a Chocolate Turtle and still has the rich creamy flavor and texture. I love this recipe topped with fresh raspberries. A dark chocolate glaze recipe or lemon sauce recipe are also excellent choices for topping the dessert.


If you learn how to make white chocolate cheesecake recipe you will learn that it does not really contain chocolate at all. Just what is white chocolate? It is a combination of cocoa butter, milk and flavorings. This chocolate is characterized by a pale yellow color; you might call ivory. It seems to melt at a lower heat point than darker chocolate but will still stay solid at room temperature. (I find the white much easier to dip when making candy for this reason). During the processing the dark solid of the cacao beans are separated from the fatty content and are not re-blended like in the dark chocolate.


If your learning how to make white chocolate cheesecake this white ingredient is available in several different forms in the supermarket. A baking bar is a high form of this chocolate and contains the greatest amount of cocoa butter. Vanilla milk chips are similar in quality to the baking bar. These are available in regular sized chips and in a large disk shaped form. The vanilla milk chips melt well for use also in glazes and fillings. Be aware of vanilla candy coating which is similar in appearance; it might be listed as a confection or almond bark. This contains higher amounts of sugar and less cocoa butter; not to be used in white chocolate cheesecake recipe.
