Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 (10 oz) package frozen raspberries
- 2 tbsp white sugar (for raspberry sauce)
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup 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.
