Preheat oven to 375 degrees (190 Celsius).
In bowl of food processor pulse cookies till fine. Add melted butter and pulse to combine. Place 1 heaping tablespoon (15 mL) of cookie crumbs in each mini cheesecake tin and tap down with a small spoon. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Beat cream cheese until smooth; gradually beat in sugar until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in vanilla and white chocolate.
Ladle a small amount of the cream cheese mixture in each tin and place a berry in the centre. Top with remaining mixture filling to the top.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until puffed and set.
Let cool on a rack for 20 minutes and remove from tin. Let cool completely on a tray (centers will cave in slightly.) Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
Garnish with fresh berries.
