Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

Raspberry Sauce:

  • 10 oz. frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 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 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until combined.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.

2. Make the Raspberry Sauce:

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries, water, sugar, and cornstarch.
  2. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened (about 5 minutes).
  3. Strain the sauce through a mesh strainer to remove seeds. Set aside to cool.

3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

  1. Melt white chocolate chips with half-and-half cream over a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Blend in vanilla extract and melted white chocolate mixture.

4. Assemble the Cheesecake:

  1. Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust.
  2. Spoon 3 tablespoons of raspberry sauce over the batter.
  3. Add the remaining cheesecake batter on top, followed by another 3 tablespoons of raspberry sauce. Swirl gently with a knife for a marbled effect.

5. Bake the Cheesecake:

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until the filling is set.
  2. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

  1. Remove from the springform pan.
  2. Slice and serve with the remaining raspberry sauce drizzled on top.


Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
