Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Raspberry Swirl
- In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down (~5–7 minutes).
- If desired, stir in cornstarch slurry to thicken.
- Strain the sauce through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Set aside to cool.
Step 2: Make the Crust
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until fully combined.
- Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool while preparing the filling.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
- Add sour cream and vanilla extract, then mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the melted white chocolate.
Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake
- Pour half the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust.
- Drizzle a few spoonfuls of raspberry sauce over the batter and swirl with a toothpick or knife.
- Add the remaining batter on top. Repeat the swirling with more raspberry sauce.
- Reserve some raspberry sauce for topping when serving.
Step 5: Bake
- Place the pan in a water bath (wrap the pan with foil and place it in a larger baking pan filled with hot water).
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
Step 6: Chill
- Remove from oven, refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 7: Serve
- Before serving, drizzle with the remaining raspberry sauce. Garnish with white chocolate curls or fresh raspberries if desired.

Tips for Success
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Don’t overmix the filling — too much air can cause cracks.
- Always cool the cheesecake gradually to avoid sinking or cracking.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
