White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake

This is an amazing White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake, with a white cheesecake base, a raspberry swirl and raspberry topping too.

Ingredients · Servings 16

24 whole shortbread cookies, (finely crushed (1¾ cups))
2 tablespoons salted butter, (melted)
10 ounces frozen raspberries
½ cup water
2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Four 8-ounce packages cream cheese, (at room temperature)
¾ cup granulated white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 ounces white chocolate (like Ghirardelli brand), (chopped and melted)
4 large eggs

Method · 5 h 25 min

Preheat the oven to 325℉. In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, water, sugar and cornstarch. Bring to a boil, and continue boiling until the sauce is thick, about 5 minutes. Strain through a mesh strainer to remove the seeds.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until well-blended. Add the melted white chocolate; mix well. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each until just blended. Pour ½ of the batter over the crust. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the raspberry sauce over the batter. Pour the remaining filling on top. Spoon 3 more tablespoons of the raspberry sauce over the batter. Swirl the batter with the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect.
Bake 60 to 65 minutes or until the center is almost set. Run a knife around the rim of the pan to loosen the cheesecake; cool before removing the rim. Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours.
Serve slices of cheesecake with the remaining raspberry sauce.

This is a beautiful cheesecake for a special occasion! The white chocolate cheesecake base is totally delicious. Add that raspberry sauce, and you’ve got yourself a bakery-quality dessert! It’s so pretty!
