White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients

• For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 8 oz white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
• For the Raspberry Sauce (optional):
  • 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
   • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
   • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
   • Gradually add the melted white chocolate, mixing until smooth.
   • Gently fold in the raspberries.
3. Bake the Cheesecake:
   • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
   • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
4. Cool and Chill:
   • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
5. Make the Raspberry Sauce (optional):
   • In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the mixture bubbles and thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Strain to remove seeds, if desired. Let cool.
6. Serve:
   • Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and drizzle with raspberry sauce, if using. Garnish with additional raspberries or white chocolate shavings.

Enjoy!
