I think this was my favorite of the new recipes that I tried for the party. It was really good. I love raspberries and what better combination than raspberries, cream cheese, and chocolate.
Although this dessert tasted really good it was not the prettiest dessert I served. First, I think next time I will line the pan with parchment paper. This will make them much easier to remove from the pan. This was the first problem of why they did not look the nicest. I think if I lined the pan with parchment you could remove it from the pan for cutting.
Secondly, I will not put quite as much white chocolate on the top. The white chocolate hardened and was hard to cut through. It really should be more of a drizzle not a layer.
Even though this was not the pretties it was great. This recipe is definitely one that I will make again. We all loved it.

I was so eager to see this recipe, once I saw it listed on Mr. Linky. Yummy. Lynn we can always count on you to share something really tempting. Don’t forget to leave comments at mine and Lana’s sites to be entered in the giveaway. I would hate for you to miss out! You are so faithful to TMTT.
This looks and sounds heavenly. I used to make a Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake awhile back. This reminded me of it. Happy TMTT!
This sounds wonderful!!!
This looks and sounds wonderful! Wonder what it would taste like with strawberry preserves(what I have on hand!)?! Yummy! 🙂
Sonshine, I think strawberry would be really good. I actually used seedless raspberry jelly which is what I had. I think blackberry would also be good. Anything like that would work fine.
