Ingredients

Cheesecake

2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon Gold MedalŪ all-purpose flour
3 eggs
8 oz bittersweet baking chocolate, melted, cooled
Fresh raspberries or strawberries, if desired

White Truffle Sauce

1 package (6 oz) white chocolate baking bars, chopped
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup whipping cream


Directions

Heat oven to 275°F. Lightly grease bottom and side of 9-inch
springform pan. In medium bowl, beat cream cheese and vanilla
with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually
add sugar, beating until fluffy. Beat in flour. Beat in eggs,
one at a time. Beat in chocolate. Pour into pan. Bake about 1
hour 15 minutes or until center is set. (Do not insert a knife
because the hole could cause cheesecake to crack.) Cool at room
temperature 15 minutes. Run knife around side of pan to loosen
cheesecake. Cover and refrigerate about 3 hours or until chilled.
In 2-quart saucepan, melt white chocolate and butter over low heat,
stirring constantly (mixture will be thick and grainy); remove
from heat. Stir in whipping cream until smooth. Cover and refrigerate
about 2 hours or until chilled. Run knife around side of pan to
loosen cheesecake; remove side of pan. Let cheesecake stand at
room temperature 15 minutes before cutting. Serve cheesecake
