Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 8 oz white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- ½ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup raspberry sauce or jam (strained if desired)
- Fresh raspberries, for garnish
- Whipped cream, optional for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment and lightly grease the sides.
- Make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
- Melt the white chocolate: Use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring often.
- Prepare the filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until incorporated. Blend in sour cream and vanilla extract. Mix in melted white chocolate. Add eggs one at a time, beating just until combined.
- Assemble: Pour half of the filling over the crust. Drop spoonfuls of raspberry sauce on top and swirl lightly. Add the remaining filling and repeat the swirl.
- Bake: Place the pan in a larger roasting pan and add hot water halfway up the sides. Bake for 55–65 minutes until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
- Cool: Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour inside. Then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Decorate and Serve: Top with fresh raspberries and whipped cream if desired. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
