Ingredients

Crust

5 ounces (150g) butter cookies, or shortbread (about 40 cookies)
1/4 cup (50 mL) melted butter

Filling

1 1/2 packages (375g) cream cheese, cut into cubes
1/3 cup (75 mL) sugar

2 ounces (60g) good quality white chocolate, melted
1/2 pint blackberries or raspberries

In bowl of food processor pulse cookies till fine. Add melted butter and pulse to combine. Place 1 heaping tablespoon (15 mL) of cookie crumbs in each mini cheesecake tin and tap down with a small spoon. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Filling

Beat cream cheese until smooth; gradually beat in sugar until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in vanilla and white chocolate.
