2.Using a metal cake spatula, spread the reserved room-temperature chocolate ganache evenly over the top and sides of the cheesecake. Place the chocolate truffles around the outside edge of the top of the cheesecake, spacing them evenly.

3.Melt the white chocolate according to the instructions in the Chocolate Melting Tips. Using a fork, drizzle/shake the warm white chocolate in a decorative zigzag pattern over the top of the cheesecake. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or overnight, before serving. (The cheesecake can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 5 days.)

4.Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.

With a sharp, thin-bladed knife, cut the cheesecake into 12 truffle-topped slices, dipping the blade in hot water and wiping it dry after each slice
