This cheesecake is a luxurious blend of creamy white chocolate, tangy raspberries, and a buttery crust, perfect for special occasions or when you want to impress.

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 8 oz (225g) white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120g) sour cream
  • ½ cup raspberry puree or seedless raspberry jam

For the Topping (Optional):

  • Fresh raspberries
  • White chocolate shavings
  • Whipped cream

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
    • In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan.
    • Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • Melt the white chocolate and set aside to cool slightly.
    • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
    • Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
    • Mix in vanilla extract, sour cream, and melted white chocolate until well combined.
  3. Add Raspberry Swirl:
    • Pour half of the filling into the prepared crust.
    • Spoon dollops of raspberry puree over the surface and gently swirl using a knife or skewer.
    • Repeat with the remaining filling and raspberry puree, creating a marbled effect.
  4. Bake the Cheesecake:
    • Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan and pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
    • Bake for 60–70 minutes or until the edges are set, and the center jiggles slightly.
    • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  5. Chill and Serve:
    • Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and let it cool completely at room temperature.
    • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Garnish (Optional):
    • Top the cheesecake with fresh raspberries, white chocolate shavings, or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.

Enjoy your elegant white chocolate raspberry cheesecake!
