Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
8 oz white chocolate, chopped
1 cup full-fat sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly moistened.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create an even layer.
Bake for about 10 minutes until slightly golden. Let cool.
Melt chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler; stir frequently until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until smooth.
Add sour cream and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
Slowly pour in melted white chocolate while mixing until well incorporated.
Gently fold in fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them.
Pour the raspberry white chocolate filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
Smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until just set but slightly wobbly in the center.
Turn off the oven and crack open its door slightly to prevent cracking as it cools.
After one hour at room temperature, transfer cheesecake to refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
