Valentines Day Theme- White Chocolate Raspberry no-bake cheese cake

Ok so here is another Valentines day sweet that could put a perfect ending on that perfect dinner.

This is a White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle No Bake Cheesecake:
(Can be used for any occasion but in my opinion I feel it fits the Valentines day theme quite nicely.)

Ingredients

• Chocolate Crust
• 1 ½ cups Oreo crumbs, I used 2 row of Oreos, removed the cream in the center
• 6 tablespoons butter, melt

Easy Truffle

• 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
• - OR to make this easy, substitute the truffle for 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
• White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake
• 4 – 8 ounce cream cheese
• ½ cup white granulated sugar
• 1 container Cool Whip
• ½ cup white chocolate chips, melted
• 2 boxes Jell-O White Chocolate Instant Pudding
• ½ cup raspberry preserves
• ¼ cup butter, softened
• 2 pints fresh raspberries
• ¼ cup chocolate candy melts, melted

Directions

Chocolate Crust

In a food processor add Oreos and grind until they resemble coarse crumbs. Pour 1 ½ cups of crumbs into medium mixing bowl, add melted butter and mix together until it starts to stick together. Press into the bottom of cheesecake or 9x13 pan. Set in the fridge until ready to use.

Truffles

Combine sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips in a double boiler over medium heat, stir together until melted. Spread out in to a ¼ layer on a plate, stick in the fridge and let it harden. 45 minutes -1 hour. Break into small chunks, or small pea sized pieces. Set aside.

Cheesecake

In a small mixing bowl or glass measuring cup, melt white chocolate in microwave for 1 minute, stir until completely melted, you may need to stick it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds. Set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl or your KitchenAid mixer beat together cream cheese, butter, both instant pudding boxes and sugar. Until well combined and creamy, then mix in the Cool Whip. Gradually add in the the cooled in melted white chocolate and chocolate chips or truffles chunks. Until well combined. Add ½ of the cream cheese mixture on top of the crust and spread evenly. Then drizzle, ¼ cup of raspberry preserves over the cheesecake. I do this by sticking the preserves in a small sandwich Ziplock, cut off the tip, then draw lines using ½ of the preserves. Add the other ½ of the cheesecake on top of the raspberry preserves. Using the remainder of the raspberry preserves, drizzle over cheesecake. Top with 2 pints of fresh raspberries, drizzle with chocolate and set in fridge 1-2 hours until set. I did this for 1 hour, and it was set but ideally 2 hours is best.
