White Chocolate Cheesecake

My base cheesecake recipe is very simple. Cream cheese, egg yolks and sugar. Everything additional is there for flavor. The secret is to beat the cream cheese until it is very smooth and and very well combined. A low heat will set the cake almost like setting a custard. The result should be very creamy and melt in your mouth.
