Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press into a springform pan and bake for 8 minutes. Let cool.
- In a saucepan, combine fresh or frozen raspberries with sugar and lemon juice. Cook for 8-10 minutes until thickened. Cool before using.
- Chop high-quality white chocolate and melt in a heatproof bowl, stirring every 30 seconds. Let cool slightly.
- Beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then blend in vanilla, sour cream, heavy cream, and melted chocolate.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust. Drizzle half of the raspberry filling and swirl. Add remaining batter, top with rest of raspberry sauce, swirling again.
- Place the springform pan in a larger pan with hot water. Bake for 60–70 minutes until edges set and center jiggles slightly.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Remove from springform pan, top with raspberry sauce or berries, and serve.

Notes
Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. A water bath helps prevent cracks. Cool the cheesecake slowly and consider making it a day in advance.
