Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake

A rich and creamy raspberry white chocolate cheesecake with a buttery graham cracker crust, swirls of raspberry puree, and a luscious white chocolate-infused filling. Perfect for special occasions or indulgent desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for raspberry sauce)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water
  • 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 8 oz white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with aluminum foil to prevent leaks.
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries and 2 tablespoons sugar. Cook until raspberries break down, then add cornstarch slurry and stir until thickened. Strain to remove seeds and set aside to cool.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla, beating until combined.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in melted white chocolate and sour cream until smooth.
  7. Pour half the cheesecake batter over the crust. Drizzle half the raspberry sauce over batter. Repeat with remaining batter and raspberry sauce. Use a knife to swirl.
  8. Bake in a water bath for 55–65 minutes, or until center is almost set. Turn off oven and let cheesecake sit for 1 hour with the door ajar.
  9. Remove from oven, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for best flavor.
  • Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps.
  • Cheesecake can be made a day in advance for better flavor and texture.
  • Raspberry sauce can be prepared ahead and refrigerated.
