A creamy, sweet, and tangy cheesecake featuring a luscious white chocolate and raspberry swirl, perfect for special occasions or casual treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 150g)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (70g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (25g)
  • 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
  • 1 cup (120g) fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (25g)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and feel like wet sand.
  2. Transfer the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom using the back of a spoon or your fingers. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  3. Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Slowly add the melted white chocolate, mixing gently to combine.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 3-5 minutes until raspberries break down. Mash with a fork or sieve to remove seeds if desired. Let cool.
  7. Pour half the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust. Spoon half the raspberry sauce over the filling, then dollop the remaining filling on top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the raspberry through the batter for a marbled effect.
  8. Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes at 325°F (160°C). The edges should be set, but the center will still jiggle slightly when shaken.
  9. Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour to prevent cracking. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  10. Run a knife around the edges before releasing the springform pan. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients to avoid lumps and cracks. Melt white chocolate gently and stir frequently to prevent scorching. Cool cheesecake gradually by leaving oven door ajar after baking to prevent cracks. For gluten-free, substitute crust with gluten-free graham crackers or almond flour. Sour cream can be replaced with Greek yogurt for a lighter tang. Cracks can be masked with extra raspberry swirl after baking.
