8 oz Fine-quality white chocolate
4 8oz packages cream cheese
1/2 c +2 tablespoons sugar

Crust: Blend together the graham crumbs and the almonds, add the butter

Filling: In a double boiler melt the chocolate, stirring until it is
smooth, and remove the bowl from the heat. In a large bowl with an electric
mixer beat the cream cheese until it is light and fluffy; add the sugar and

chocolate in a slow stream, beating until the filling is well combined.

Scatter the raspberries over the bottom of the crust, pour filling over
them, and bake the cheesecake in the middle of a preheated 250F oven for 1
hour, or until top is firm to the touch. Let the cheesecake cool in the pan
on a rack; chill, covered loosely, overnight. Remove side of pan to serve.
