I have always been fond of raspberry cheese cake. I have made different versions through the years. This timr I changed it up. I used cream, and I added my chocolate crust, and a raspberry puree to it. Then added a sour cream topping. It is a big success. I will be making it this way from now on. Enjoy all!
