Preheat the oven to 284°F (140°C).
In a large bowl beat the cream cheese with the sugar and add the eggs one at a time. Set aside.
Place the finely chopped white chocolate in a medium bowl.
In a deep saucepan heat the cream to boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate. Let chill for 20 seconds and then mix well.
Pour the chocolate ganache into the cream mixture. Beat everything until a smooth consistency.
Pour the mixture into the pan over the cookie base.
Cooked for 35/40 minutes.
Let cool at room temperature and then store it in the fridge. Chill overnight.
Plum compote
Cut the plums into large cubes with peel. Place in a pan, sprinkle with sugar and drops of lemon juice, and cook over low heat until tender, but firm, and a syrup forms. Remove from heat and let cool.
