APPLE CRUMBLE WHITE
CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE
Fabulous! This cheesecake is outstanding! The flavor of white chocolate in a creamy cheesecake studded with bits of soft, cooked apple just above the substantial shortbread-style crust will delight family and guests. If you can’t easily get cocoa butter (should be available at places like Trader Joe's), you can substitute a sugar-free white chocolate like Ross bars, which I used to enjoy years ago. This cheesecake lasted two weeks in the refrigerator and was as good as ever! If you decide to skip the cocoa butter, you might want to bake the cheesecake for 20 minutes and then only add the crumble topping to prevent it from sinking into the cheesecake. This cheesecake had no cracks at all, which I thought was very cool.

seconds. Pour off excess liquid. Stir in butter and sweetener. Place on top of the chilled crust. Place in refrigerator.
Cream Cheese Filling: In food processor or in bowl with mixer,
process cream cheese. Add eggs one at a
time, while processing. Add liquid
sweetener, powdered sweetener, sour cream and whipping cream; process. Add melted, cooled cocoa butter (I nuke mine;
be careful it will be very hot, including the bowl used for melting the cocoa
butter) and process until all is smooth.
Pour over top of the apples which are on top of the crust. Sprinkle with Crumble Topping. Bake 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is
golden brown. (While baking, place a pan
with water on the shelf below the cheesecake).
When finished baking, switch oven off and leave the cheesecake inside
