A bakery-style white chocolate raspberry swirl cheesecake with a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy filling, and tangy raspberry ribbons.
For the crust:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the raspberry swirl:
1 ¼ cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (slurry)
For the filling:
24 oz cream cheese (3 blocks), softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
¾ cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 oz white chocolate, melted and cooled
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 9-inch springform pan and prepare a water bath.
Mix crust ingredients, press into pan, and bake for 10 minutes. Cool.
Cook raspberries and sugar in a saucepan. Stir in slurry until thickened. Strain if desired.
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, then eggs one at a time. Mix in sour cream, vanilla, and melted white chocolate.
Pour half the batter into the crust. Add raspberry puree and swirl. Repeat with remaining batter and puree.
Bake in a water bath for 55–65 minutes. Cool in oven 1 hour, then refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
Run a knife around the edge and release pan. Slice and serve chilled.
