Ingredients
Crust:
-
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
⅓ cup melted unsalted butter
Filling:
-
3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1 cup sour cream
-
3 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
½ cup white chocolate chips, melted
Raspberry Swirl:
-
½ cup raspberry preserves
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
-
Make the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan and slightly up the sides. Chill while making the filling.
-
Make the filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla. Blend until combined, then gently stir in the melted white chocolate.
-
Assemble: Pour filling over the crust. Drop spoonfuls of raspberry preserves on top and swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
-
Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
-
Cool: Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then transfer to room temperature to cool completely.
-
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture.
-
Serve: Slice and enjoy chilled. Garnish with fresh raspberries or white chocolate curls if desired.
Notes
-
For a crispier crust, pre-bake for 8 minutes at 325°F before adding the filling.
-
Use seedless raspberry preserves for a smoother swirl.
-
Let cream cheese fully soften before mixing to avoid lumps.
-
For clean slices, dip your knife in warm water and wipe between cuts.
-
Can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
