- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces white chocolate, melted and cooled
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and cool.
- Combine raspberries and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until berries break down. Mix cornstarch with water and stir into berries. Simmer until thickened. Strain seeds if desired and cool.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in vanilla, melted white chocolate, and heavy cream until fully combined.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the crust. Spoon portions of raspberry sauce over the batter. Add remaining batter and top with more raspberry sauce. Use a knife to create decorative swirls.
- Place cheesecake in the oven and bake for 65–70 minutes, or until the center is slightly set but still jiggles gently.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
