Ingredients
  • 9 ounce White chocolate
  • 3 teaspoon Gelatin powder
  • 1 quart Soft whipping cream
  • 8 ounce Sugar
  • 2 pound Cream cheese
  • 4 ounce Caramel delites cookies;
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the caramel cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  2. 2
    Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the mousse.
  3. 3
    Melt the white chocolate gently in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly so it is warm but not hot.
  4. 4
    Sprinkle gelatin powder over 1 ounce of cold water in a small bowl. Let it bloom for 5-10 minutes. Then, heat gently (microwave for 10-15 seconds or over a double boiler) just until dissolved. Do not boil.
  5. 5
    In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  6. 6
    Add the sugar to the cream cheese and beat until combined.
  7. 7
    Add the cooled melted white chocolate to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on medium speed until fully incorporated and smooth.
  8. 8
    Stir the dissolved gelatin into the chocolate-cheese mixture. Ensure it is evenly distributed.
  9. 9
    In a separate clean bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  10. 10
    Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three additions, using a spatula. Fold carefully to maintain airiness.
  11. 11
    Spread half of the mousse mixture over the chilled crust. Scatter half of the chopped sun-dried cherries evenly over the mousse.
  12. 12
    Top with the remaining mousse mixture, smoothing the top with a spatula. Scatter the remaining sun-dried cherries on top.
  13. 13
    Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firmly set.
  14. 14
    Before serving, run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen. Release the springform ring and slice with a warm, dry knife for clean cuts.
