Ingredients
For the Crust:
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or vanilla wafer crumbs)
¼ cup granulated sugar
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Raspberry Swirl:
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tsp cold water
For the Cheesecake Filling:
12 oz white chocolate, chopped
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
1. Make the Crust:
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Combine crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
2. Make the Raspberry Swirl:
In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until soft.
Stir in the cornstarch mixture. Cook for 1–2 more minutes until thickened.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Let cool.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Batter:
Melt white chocolate gently over a double boiler or in the microwave. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low. Add vanilla, sour cream, and heavy cream.
Mix in melted white chocolate until fully incorporated.
4. Assemble and Bake:
Pour half the cheesecake batter over the crust.
Drizzle half the raspberry sauce over the batter. Swirl gently with a knife.
Add the remaining batter and repeat with raspberry swirl on top.
Place pan in a water bath (wrap with foil) and bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cool inside for 1 hour.
Chill at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Fresh raspberries
White chocolate curls or drizzle
