For the White Chocolate mousse...to be added AFTER u bake and cool ur cheesecake..
1 cup white chocolate chunks

1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened

Heat white chocolate and 3 tablespoons whipping cream in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring often until chocolate is melted. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar. While beating, slowly add white chocolate mixture until smooth. In chilled small bowl, beat remaining whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into white chocolate mixture.
