Ingredients
UnitsScale
1 1/2cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4cup white sugar
1/3cup butter, melted
1 (10 oz) package frozen raspberries
2 tbsp white sugar (for raspberry sauce)
2 tsp cornstarch
1/2cup water
2cups white chocolate chips
1/2cup half-and-half cream
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2cup white sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of the pan.
In a saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 tbsp sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a boil, and continue boiling for 5 minutes, or until sauce thickens. Strain to remove seeds.
In a double boiler, melt white chocolate chips with half-and-half, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in vanilla and melted white chocolate mixture.
Pour half of the batter over the crust. Spoon 3 tablespoons of raspberry sauce over batter. Pour remaining batter into the pan and spoon more raspberry sauce on top. Swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until filling is set. Cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight before removing from pan.
Notes
Use fresh raspberries when in season for an even brighter flavor.
Let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating to avoid cracks.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers.
