when I read your recipe request my mind flashed back to one of the yummiest desserts I ever ate but I couldn't remember the name so I made a couple calls and will have the recipe for "fruit pizza" sent to me in the next couple days. (She doesn't have internet! ) Its basically a pizza (pie crust) shell with that cheescake stuff, star fruit, kiwis, strawberries and lots of other yummy stuff! (one of those things that make you fatter by just looking at it.
I never made it so I don't know, but Linda said most people won't bother with it because it has several steps to make. But really good things always take time and effort... right?
I guarantee that it will wow your guests! I will post the recipe here as soon as I get it.... even if you don't make it, you'll drool when you read it! Yummmmm. I think thats what Ill make to take to Shauns for turkey day... Yes... my son actually invited ME to Thanksgiving this year!

Have you ever had a White Chocolate-Raspberry Cheesecake? They are simply "to die for"

I usually serve this already sliced,raspberry sauce on top with a dab of Vanilla whipped cream.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE WITH
RASPBERRY SAUCE

9 oz. pkg. Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers, crushed
1/4 c. butter, melted

Heat oven to 325 degrees. In medium bowl, combine crust ingredients; mix well. Press in bottom and up sides of 10 inch springform pan. Refrigerate.

FILLING:

2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. sugar
3 eggs
12 oz. pkg. (2 c.) vanilla milk chips, melted
1 c. whipping cream
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla

In large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each. Add remaining filling ingredients; beat until smooth. Pour into crust-lined pan.
Bake at 325 degrees for 55 to 65 minutes or until edges set. To minimize cracking, place shallow pan 1/2 full of hot water on low oven rack while baking. Center of cheesecake will be soft. Turn oven off; let cake stand in oven for 30 minutes with door open about 4 inches. Remove from oven; cool to room temperature on wire rack. Remove sides of pan. Refrigerate overnight.

RASPBERRY SAUCE:

10 oz. pkg. frozen raspberries in light syrup, thawed
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1/3 c. red currant jelly

To prepare sauce, drain raspberries and set aside; reserve syrup. Add water to syrup to make 3/4 cup. In small saucepan, combine syrup mixture and cornstarch; mix well. Stir in jelly. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and clear. Stir in raspberries. Refrigerate until cold. Serve with cheesecake.

Servings: 16

You all are down right dangerous with those cheese cake recipes but I think G-mom gets the award for the white chocolate cheesecake with rasberry sauce. It just sounds so goon I put on 5 lbs reading about it.

* * * *

I ended up not making a dessert. I just didn't have the time that I needed. I didn't even have time to buy anything. The trip out ws horrible. We crossed through some mountains to the western side of the state and ran into a wall of snow. We had to drive about 45 miles an hour on average....25mph in some places. The roads were icy and bad. There were accidents everywere. It ended up taking 6 1/2 hours to get there....it usually takes just over 3. But we had a good time.

I was thinking of just getting an already made pain cheesecake and then decorating it with the turtlecake topping, but I never had time.

* * * *

We do those with a Tortilla shell...
Spread the room temp. cream cheese over it,
about a half an inch away from the ends..
Then put in either carrots, broccoli,
and smooshed up garlic..

Then roll it up, with some saran wrap..
and put in refrig... for later..to firm it back up.
*or to speed it up a bit, put in freezer..*

Then just before guests come, unwrap, and slice
in rolls or disc's.. and serve on platter...
garnish with curled shaved carrot or tiny~tiny broccoli floret...

We use the big burrito shells,
so they're a pretty good size..
