White Chocolate Cheesecake with Raspberries

Welcome to the first English post in my "Career Mum's Everyday Cooking" blog. I will mostly continue to write in Finnish, but did an English version of this Cheesecake recipe to enable both my English speaking friends, as well as the followers of Elisabet52 Pinterest site to bake this delicious cake.

My son turned two years old last week, this was his birthday cake.

Instructions

1. Cut a piece of parchment paper of the size of the bottom of the springform pan and place it on the bottom. Spread some melted butter on the sides of the pan.
2. Pre-heat the oven to 175 celcius/350 Fahrenheit.
3. Using a blender or a food processor, finely chop the Digestive biscuits. Mix with the melted butter. Apply to the bottom and sides of the pan.

5. Melt the white chocolate and add it to the mixture. Add the potato flour through a sieve, while mixing all the time. Finally, add the raspberries.
6. Pour the mixture in the pan. Bake in the oven for approximately 50 min, until the cake has obtained a beautiful colour.

My son enjoyed the cake as well, although he started by eating all the raspberries.
