Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake - rich and decadent cheesecake for the chocolate lovers. Topped with fresh raspberry sauce for a truly special dessert.

Simple from the first look but this machine is incredibly smart and made to help with pretty much any cooking task. I love it's modern look and the Brushed Chrome color. The capacity is what makes me really excited. See, when my Hubby and I got married and before we had kids, we got a 4-cup food processor that was a good size machine for us at the time. fast forward few years and we are a family of five. Time for the upgrade.

After the cheesecake was done and cooled, I used the 4-cup work bowl and the stainless steel multipurpose blade to make the raspberry sauce. It took me exactly 10 seconds.

    I sometimes go to Williams Sanoma just to drool over this machine, I have started saving for it. If I ever get it I may never leave the kitchen.

    Hi Ellen! I had no problem washing the machine. The bowls and the top are easy to clean. As with any food processor, you have to be careful cleaning the blades. Yes, I have used the slicing feature. I sliced tomatoes for sandwiches and it worked great! Hope this helps! Thanks for the question!

    This cheesecake looks incredible. I have been tempted to purchase this food processor but have been put off by some of the reviews that say it is more difficult to clean than others... Have you found that?

    Gorgeous cheesecake Anna! I have this food processor in black! I love it, though I feel a bit uncoordinated switching out bowls, etc. I think I got too used to my one note Cuisinart (of which I blew out the motor!). You are spot on, this machine can do anything!
