DAY 59 RECIPE: WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

I would like to start this by apologizing. I will not be posting a picture of this recipe tonight, it will be posted tomorrow. I am actually not serving this cake until tomorrow, so I did not want to put a photo up when the cake has yet to be garnished! Rest assured though, I will have the photo posted tomorrow afternoon!
Again, it seems I am making dessert. So much for my hope of eating a bit lighter fare while on vacation! That's what happens sometimes I guess! There is a lovely lady coming tomorrow as our lunch guest, so I was hoping to make something special for her! (Can't wait to see you Liz!).
I hope you all will enjoy this recipe as well! It's not huge, which is a nice change for a cheescake; and it's actually really easy to make. Totally delicious ( I have made it and eaten it many times!) and presents really nicely!
Here is the recipe, photo to follow tomorrow!
