8 oz mascarpone cheese

Mix in:

1 cup sugar

1 vanilla bean

Add and mix until smooth:

1 egg

I am making a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, so next I add in a handful of white chocolate chips on the crust:

Spoon batter over the top of that and spread evenly:

I used frozen raspberries - I heated 1 cup on the stovetop with a bit of sugar. Then spooned some on top:

Using a knife, I blended it throughout the batter:Bake 275 degrees for 1 hour. This will still be jiggly, no worries - refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
