SWIRLED RASPBERRY & CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE
One secret to a lighter, fluffier cheesecake? Use the foaming power of eggs. When you beat egg whites to stiff peaks and gently fold them into the cream cheese mixture, the eggs add more volume and lightness because of trapped air. This light, fluffy cheesecake is a family favorite. -Brittney Segobiano, Geneseo, Illinois
