Preparation

Step 1

In a large sauce pan, heat 1/2 cup sugar and water together until sugar has dissolved. Add one pint of raspberries and simmer until the berries have stewed and the mixture is smooth.
Mix corn starch with one tbsp of water and add to the raspberries and stir until incorporated. Raise heat until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and begins to thicken. Reserve and allow to cool.

Mean while...

Break short bread cookies into pieces and place in a zip lock bag. Using a wine bottle or rolling pin crush cookies into bits.
Place cookie crumbs into a mixing bowl and toss with 1/4 cup sugar. Add melted butter and incorporate well.
Place crust mixture into your springform pan and press into place across the bottom of the pan and the sides. Reserve.

Using a double boiler, melt chocolate.

Beat cream cheese until smooth and then add 1/2 cup of sugar and incorporate until smooth.
Add vanilla and incorporate.
Add chocolate a bit at a time and blend into the cream cheese mixture. When you have added all the chocolate, add one egg at a time and blend into batter..

Pour batter into the shor bread lined pan and bake at 300 degrees for about one hour ish.. Until the cake has set well and the center of the cake no longer moves when you jiggle the pan.

After one hour has passed, turn the oven off and slightly open the door to allow the heat to escape. Do not remove the cheese cake for one hour...
Allow the cake to cook for several hours before you add the topping.

Once cake has cooled. Spread the remaining fresh raspberries evenly over the top of the cake. Top with the cooked Raspberry thingy that you made earlier...
Place in the fridge to chill before serving.
