Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 12 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

For the Raspberry Swirl:

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Prepare the Raspberry Swirl:

  1. Cook the Raspberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, mashing the raspberries with a spoon, until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

Prepare the Crust:

  1. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is evenly combined.
  2. Press into Pan: Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Use the back of a spoon to press it down firmly.
  3. Bake the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow it to cool while you prepare the filling.

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

  1. Melt the White Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate chips either in the microwave in 30-second intervals or over a double boiler. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Mix the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and flour, and mix until well combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Finally, add the melted white chocolate and sour cream, mixing until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Cheesecake:

  1. Pour the Cheesecake Mixture: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled graham cracker crust in the springform pan.
  2. Add the Raspberry Swirl: Drop spoonfuls of the raspberry mixture on top of the cheesecake filling. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the raspberry into the cheesecake, creating a beautiful marbled effect.

Bake the Cheesecake:

  1. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake the cheesecake at 325°F (163°C) for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly. The cheesecake will firm up as it cools.
  2. Cool the Cheesecake: Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about an hour. Then, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
