| Pour half of the filling over the crust. Top with remaining cookie crumb mixture. Top with the remaining filling. Place the springform pan in a roasting pan, and place it in the oven. Fill roasting pan with water 1½ inches deep. Bake approximately 40 minutes or until the center of the cake is slightly firm. Turn off the oven and let the cake rest in the oven for 1 hour.

| Sephra Belgian White Chocolate Tips |
|
| White chocolate is more vulnerable to scorching than other flavors because it contains more dairy. To avoid scorching, use these tips: |
|
- If your home fountain has adjustable heat, use the low heat setting.
- On commercial fountains keep the temperature between 140-158°F.
- Stir white chocolate periodically in the basin. |
|
| Think pink! (or red, or purple…) |
|
| Sephra Belgian White Chocolate looks great dyed. |
|
| Color your Sephra chocolate with any oil-based food coloring to match the occasion. Guests are always impressed by the unique appearance. |
