	I like making cheesecakes. For a dessert, they're relatively easy to make, and are always a hit. Also, cheescakes attract girls. The next time you go to a party or gathering, bring a homemade cheesecake instead of a sixer! Today we will be baking a white chocolate cheesecake, with raspberry sauce.		I like making cheesecakes.

 Notice the cheap roasting pan. I will not be using this any more since it does not allow the springform pan to sit flat and so the cheesecake will bake lopsided. One thing helps is to have wide foil, like at the Costco. With it, you won't get any leakage into the cheesecake. Regular sized foil does not work as well.

 When making this white chocolate cheesecake, I make a raspberry sauce to go with it. I kind of hacked the sauce together, but basically it involves heating strained raspberries (no pulp), some sugar, lime juice, and some cornstarch. I didn't take pictures of that part, since I'm not sure how best to do the sauce, and mine came out a bit sweet for my tastes.

 When you're ready, run a knife around the outside, and remove the pan sides by releasing the spring. Cut it with a hot knife (dip in hot water then wipe), and enjoy! It goes well with a mint garnish and a splash of raspberry sauce.

		+	First thing you should do is ensure that the eggs, milk, and cream are room tempearature.
