Scale
- 1 and 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (10 oz) package frozen raspberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for raspberry sauce)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In a saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Strain through a mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside to cool.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in short bursts. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla, melted white chocolate, and sour cream until smooth.
- Pour half of the batter over the crust. Drizzle with half of the raspberry sauce and swirl using a knife. Repeat with remaining batter and sauce.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top appears slightly dry. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool for 1 hour inside.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries if preferred, but adjust cooking time as needed.
- Allow all ingredients to come to room temperature for smooth blending.
- Cheesecake is best when chilled overnight to fully set.
