  • Pulse the cream cheese, ricotta, eggs, sugar, and vanilla seeds in a food processor until smooth.
  • Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water and allow to cool slightly.
  • Fold the chocolate into the cheese mixture, pour into the tin, and bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Cool the cheesecake, remove from the tin, and serve with berries, cream, and extra drizzled chocolate.
