Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
  • 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 8 oz (225g) white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
  • 1 cup (125g) fresh raspberries
  • 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press into bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes and cool.
  2. Make raspberry puree by blending raspberries with sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Strain seeds and set aside.
  3. Melt white chocolate using double boiler or microwave in short bursts. Cool slightly to warm but not hot.
  4. Beat cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until smooth (3-4 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating gently after each.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream. Slowly fold in melted white chocolate until uniform.
  6. Pour half the batter into crust. Add dollops of raspberry puree randomly. Pour remaining batter on top and add more raspberry puree on surface. Use toothpick to swirl gently.
  7. Bake 50-60 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Use water bath or pan of water in oven to prevent cracking if possible.
  8. Cool cheesecake in oven with door cracked for 1 hour. Run knife around edges, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Release springform pan carefully. Slice with sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients to avoid lumps and cracks. Melt white chocolate slowly to prevent burning. Use a water bath or pan of water in oven to maintain moisture and prevent cracking. Chill cheesecake overnight for best texture and flavor. Swirl gently to keep distinct raspberry patterns.
