Roast Rhubarb & White Chocolate Baked Cheesecake

I love the abundance and variety of fresh fruits the summer brings! It was such a nice morning yesterday that I just wanted to make a fancy breakfast.

I’d been planning on making a pecan pie this year for Thanksgiving, but unfortunately, the list of ingredients sent me on a little scavenger hunt around here, as American baking in a foreign country can do.
