Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 6 mini cheesecakes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raspberries (Plus more for garnish)
  • 2 tbs sugar
  • 1 tbs lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup shortbread cookie crumbs
  • 4 oz white chocolate chips (Plus more for garnish)
  • 2 tbs butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Add the raspberries, lemon juice, and sugar to a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring regularly, then lower heat and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat to strain and let cool.
  • In a food processor, pulse together the shortbread crumbs, a quarter of the white chocolate chips, and the butter. Press into the bottom of jumbo muffin cups and refrigerate while preparing the rest. This will help the crust set.
  • Beat the cream cheese until fluffy, then add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Melt the white chocolate, then add it as well, beating to thoroughly incorporate.
  • Pour the strained raspberry into the cream cheese and stir. Spoon this over the refrigerated crusts and decorate with raspberries and white chocolate chips. Refrigerate for another 2 hours, or until the cheesecake has set.
