Description
A delightful dessert that combines cream cheese and white chocolate with the tartness of fresh raspberries, smooth and creamy for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries for sauce
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar for sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in the melted white chocolate and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- To prepare the raspberry sauce, combine fresh raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
- Serve slices of cheesecake drizzled with raspberry sauce.
Notes
Serve chilled and optionally top with whipped cream or fresh raspberries. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.
