Description
White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake is a luscious dessert featuring a creamy white chocolate filling swirled with tart raspberry puree on a buttery graham cracker crust. It’s rich, elegant, and perfect for special occasions or indulgent moments.
Ingredients
1⅓ cups (150 g) graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons (45 g) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
4 oz (113 g) white chocolate, chopped
12 oz (340 g) cream cheese, softened
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
½ cup (120 g) fresh or frozen raspberries
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for raspberry swirl)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Optional garnish: fresh raspberries, white chocolate shavings, mint leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tbsp sugar. Press into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 8 minutes. Cool.
- Mash raspberries with 1 tbsp sugar and lemon juice. Strain to remove seeds and set aside.
- Melt white chocolate in 20-second microwave bursts or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in vanilla and eggs one at a time. Stir in heavy cream, then fold in melted white chocolate.
- Pour batter over cooled crust. Dollop raspberry puree on top and swirl with a knife.
- Bake at 350 °F for 40–45 minutes, until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
- Turn off oven, crack door, and let cheesecake rest inside for 1 hour. Then cool to room temperature and chill in fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Release from springform, slice, and garnish as desired before serving.
Notes
Use frozen raspberries (thawed and drained) for the swirl.
Swap raspberry with blueberry or strawberry puree.
Top with fresh berries instead of swirling for a cleaner presentation.
White chocolate chips work if chopped chocolate isn’t available.
Make mini cheesecakes using muffin tins; bake ~20 minutes.
