This White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake is a showstopper, featuring a velvety smooth, rich cheesecake infused with real white chocolate, swirled with homemade raspberry sauce, and nestled into a fudgy chocolate crust. It’s a symphony of creamy, tart, sweet, and crunchy flavors.

Ingredients

  • For the Crust: 2 chocolate cookie crusts (or 3 cups chocolate cookie crumbs + 1/2 cup melted butter)
  • For the Cheesecake Filling: 4 (8 oz) blocks full-fat cream cheese, softened, 1 1/2 cups cane sugar, 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract, 1 tsp almond extract, 8 large egg yolks, 1 cup raspberry sauce, 8 oz high-quality white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled, Zest of 1 lemon
  • For the Topping & Garnish: 3 cups freshly whipped cream, Fresh raspberries, white chocolate curls, Extra raspberry sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Wrap the outside bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
  3. Press your chocolate crust into the bottom and about halfway up the sides of the prepared pan. If using a homemade crust, bake for 8-10 minutes to set, then cool.
  4. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth and lump-free.
  5. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and lemon zest. Beat until silky and combined.
  6. With the mixer on low, add the egg yolks one at a time, letting each incorporate fully before adding the next.
  7. Slowly stream in the slightly cooled melted white chocolate and mix just until the batter is a uniform pale color.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared crust. Drop spoonfuls of about half of your raspberry sauce over the batter. Gently swirl it into the batter with a knife or skewer.
  9. Gently pour the remaining batter on top. Repeat the dolloping and swirling with the rest of the raspberry sauce.
  10. Place the foil-wrapped springform pan into a large roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it comes about halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  11. Carefully slide the setup into the oven and bake for 60-70 minutes. The edges will be set, but the center will still have a slight jiggle.
  12. Turn off the oven, crack the door open with a wooden spoon, and let the cheesecake cool slowly in the oven for 1 hour.
  13. Remove the cheesecake from the water bath, take off the foil, and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  14. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  15. To serve, run a thin knife under hot water, dry it, and carefully slide it around the edge of the pan. Unlatch the springform pan.
  16. Pipe or dollop whipped cream on top, garnish with fresh raspberries and white chocolate curls. Drizzle with extra raspberry sauce if desired.

Notes

  • For a from-scratch crust, blend 3 cups of chocolate cookie crumbs (Oreo filling removed) with 1/2 cup melted butter and press firmly into your pan.
  • Using full-fat cream cheese is essential for a creamy texture. Ensure it is truly at room temperature.
  • Use real white chocolate baking bars, not chips, as chips contain stabilizers that can cause the filling to seize.
  • The water bath creates a steamy environment for a gentle, even bake, preventing cracks.
  • Cooling the cheesecake slowly in the oven and then refrigerating it overnight allows the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.
  • If your cheesecake cracks, the toppings will beautifully conceal it.
  • This cheesecake can be stored tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or frozen (without topping) for up to 3 months.
  • If you don’t have a springform pan, a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate can be used.
