A rich and indulgent white chocolate raspberry cheesecake with an ultra-creamy filling, a tangy raspberry swirl, and a crisp chocolate cookie crust. This elegant dessert is perfect for celebrations and special occasions.
2 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp warm water
2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
2 1/2 tsp sugar
35 Oreo cookies, crushed into crumbs
4 tbsp butter, melted
24 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3/4 tsp vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
White chocolate bar, optional for garnish
Use a water bath to prevent cracks and ensure even baking.
Straining the raspberry puree creates a smoother swirl.
Cheesecake is best made a day ahead for proper chilling.
Let slices sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
Freeze without whipped cream for best results.
