Black Bottom Cheesecake

I must admit I was a little skeptical when I didn't see any flour or binding agent in this recipe, but I forged on anyway and followed it to its delicious conclusion. The recipient of this "birthday" cake could not help raving about how much he loved it. He said the white chocolate added that "certain je ne sais quoi" (his words,) and asked if I'd bake it again. Of course, I said yes. I am contemplating using lower fat cream cheese- (not non fat because that stuff is like eating plastic,) and wonder if the recipe will still be as scrumptious.(I'd like to save the fat calories from the cheese.) Perhaps I will try it but make some minicheese cake bites. Thanks Nestle for another winner! I can always count on you. :-).
