White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
This White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake is a luscious, creamy dessert that combines the rich flavor of white chocolate with the tartness of fresh raspberries.
It’s the perfect indulgence for summer gatherings, special occasions, or even a delightful treat for a quiet evening at home. With a prep time of about 30 minutes and an additional chilling time of at least 4 hours, this cheesecake is manageable for bakers of all skill levels.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz white chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- ½ cup raspberry puree (store-bought or homemade)
- Whipped cream (for garnish)
- Fresh raspberries (for garnish)
Cooking Steps:
1. Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well mixed.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes and let it cool while preparing the filling.
2. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and beat until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just blended. Stir in the vanilla extract and melted white chocolate.
3. Layer the cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust, then gently drop spoonfuls of the raspberry puree and fresh raspberries on top.
Swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Pour the remaining cheesecake mixture on top and smooth it out.
4. Bake the cheesecake: Place the springform pan in the oven and bake for about 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
To prevent cracking, you can place a dish of water in the oven while baking to create steam.
5. Cool and chill: Once done, turn off the oven and slightly crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool slowly for an hour.
Afterward, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
6. Serve: Before serving, whip the cream to soft peaks and spread it on top of the cooled cheesecake.
Garnish with fresh raspberries and drizzle additional raspberry puree if desired.
Variations & Tips:
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, you can incorporate additional raspberry puree into the filling.
- Swap out half the white chocolate for dark chocolate for a richer flavor contrast.
- Experiment with adding lemon zest to the filling for a citrusy twist.
- To make this cheesecake gluten-free, substitute graham cracker crumbs with gluten-free alternatives.
- Always use room temperature ingredients for the best texture and smoothness in your cheesecake.
- Use a water bath (bain-marie) for baking the cheesecake, which can help prevent cracking.
