The Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale is still going. We’re half way through the month. And I have a new recipe. For those of you who are cheesecakes afficianados. It’s ready to hit the chill stage in around an hour. Make if first thing in the morning, you can have a slice with your afternoon beverage of choice when you take a break to read a good book. Hopefully, one of mine. 😉

Yield: 1 Cheesecake
Prep time: 10 Minutes
Cook time: 45 Minutes
Total time: 65 mi

Ingredients
6 eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups white chocolate
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened

Lets Make It
1 – Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line bottom of 8-inch springform pan with lightly oiled parchment paper and set aside.
2 – Separate egg yolks from egg whites. Set aside.
3 – Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high in 20-second increments, stirring each time until white chocolate is melted. (Pro tip: Be careful to watch your white chocolate as it seizes very easily when overheated!)
4 – Add melted white chocolate and softened cream cheese to a large bowl. Cream together until completely smooth. Beat in egg yolks.
5 – In a separate large mixing bowl, beat egg whites with a hand mixer on high until stiff peaks form.
6 – Fold 1/3 of the whites into the cream cheese mixture until everything is slightly lightened. Gently fold remaining egg whites into cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain.
7 – Pour batter into prepared pan. Place pan into a 9×13-inch pan that has been filled with 1 inch of boiling water.
8 – Bake in oven for 40-45 minutes, or until top is a golden brown and cheesecake is slightly jiggly. Turn off oven and allow cheesecake to sit for an additional 10 minutes, then transfer 8-inch cake pan to a wire rack. Allow cheesecake to cool completely before removing from pan and transferring to plate. Chill for an additional 4 hours (or overnight) and enjoy!
