Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
- 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well blended. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and continue beating until fully incorporated.
- Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla powder and melted white chocolate until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Step 4: Fold in half of the fresh raspberries gently into the cheesecake batter, being careful not to break them apart too much. Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
- Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggly. Once done, turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about an hour. Afterward, refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight before serving. Garnish with remaining fresh raspberries before slicing.
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store your White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will keep well for up to five days. If you prefer a warm dessert, gently reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, just until the cheesecake is slightly warmed through without melting the chocolate. For an added touch of elegance, serve each slice with a drizzle of raspberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream to enhance the flavors. To prevent cracks in your cheesecake, make sure your cream cheese is fully softened and mix the batter on low speed to avoid incorporating too much air.
