Use the ganache anyway you like. I covered the whole top of the cheesecake but you could drizzle lines and designs. Add whole fresh raspberries if you like and whipped cream is always a plus  Use the ganache anyway you like. I covered the whole top of the cheesecake but you could drizzle lines and designs.
