White Chocolate - Raspberry Cheesecake

A dear friend of ours brought over some fresh picked raspberries. Oh, what to do....CHEESECAKE! The blend of white chocolate and fresh raspberries made my mouth water and my taste buds tingle with delight! I love these mini 4" spring form pans. Instead of one cake, I made two miniature cheesecakes and brought one to a friend's house for lunch! This way W got to have some too! Otherwise, I'd make this in a 7" spring-form pan. Or, skip the crust, and pour into individual goblets and serve as a delicious mousse. Enjoy!

Hi Sam..the recipe specified Irish Moss "or 3 T of ground chia)...you'll have to play around with consistency..adding either more chia..or psyllium husks...but it can produce a nice consistency.
