Bass Lake Chevre Cheesecake with Raspberry Sauce

Allow cream cheese and eggs to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, wrap the bottom and side of an 8-inch springform pan with foil.

In a large mixing bowl, bat cream cheese, goat cheese, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until combined. Beat in mascarpone cheese until smooth. Stir in eggs.

Pour cream cheese mixture into pan. Place pan in the center of a large roasting pan. Pour enough boiling water into the roast pan to reach halfway up the side of the springform pan. Cover the entire roasting pan with foil. Pierce the foil in several places.

Bake in a 325 degree F oven for 1 hour. Carefully lift up a corner of the foil to allow the steam to escape. Re-cover the pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes more or until a 2-1/2-inch area around the outside appears set when gently shaken.

Cook completely in pan on a wire rack. Using a small sharp knife, loosen the cheesecake from side of pan. Remove the side of the pan. Cover and chill at least 4 hours before serving. Serve with Raspberry Sauce. Makes 12 servings.
