Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Raspberry Sauce

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Cheesecake Filling

  • 12 ounces white chocolate
  • 24 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream

Garnish

  • Extra raspberry sauce or fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  2. Make raspberry sauce: In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens. Optionally, strain to remove seeds and set aside to cool.
  3. Melt white chocolate: Place white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt using a microwave in short intervals or over a double boiler, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Allow melted chocolate to cool slightly before use.
  4. Mix cheesecake batter: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream until fully combined. Carefully fold in the melted white chocolate to the mixture, ensuring an even blend.
  5. Assemble cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Spoon half of the raspberry sauce over the batter and gently swirl using a knife to create a marbled effect. Pour the remaining batter on top, followed by the remaining raspberry sauce, swirling again for a decorative pattern.
  6. Bake in water bath: Place the springform pan inside a larger roasting pan. Pour hot water into the larger pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Carefully place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  7. Cool cheesecake: Turn off the oven and crack the oven door open. Let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  8. Chill: After cooling, remove cheesecake from the water bath and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set and chilled.
  9. Serve: Before serving, top the cheesecake with extra raspberry sauce or fresh berries. Slice and enjoy your indulgent white chocolate raspberry cheesecake bliss!

Notes

  • Using a water bath helps prevent the cheesecake from cracking and promotes even baking.
  • You can use fresh or frozen raspberries for the sauce; adjust cooking time if using frozen.
  • To avoid overbaking, the center should still jiggle slightly when done.
  • Let the cheesecake chill sufficiently to achieve the best texture when slicing.
  • White chocolate can seize if overheated, so melt carefully and stir frequently.
