Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake Slice

Our eldest son recently had a birthday and being a summer baby, he chose to celebrate with some close mates coming over for a pool party.

‘Pool party’ is probably stretching it. In reality, it was some ‘cool pre-teens’ swimming all afternoon, and every now and then jumping out of the water to eat or drink something.

When it came to the birthday cake, this Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake was requested.

The same cake I made for an Indoor Sports Party the year before for his brother. The same cake I have made for get-togethers, a few other birthdays and the occasional ‘just because’ dessert.

It’s simple to make, loved by everyone, best made a day in advance, is easy to transport, looks great stacked high on a platter with a candle in it and can feed a crowd.

It may not be fancy enough for your Christmas menu, but next time you are asked to take a dessert to a summer BBQ, give this one a try.

The recipe is from the online recipe resource ‘TASTE.com.au’
