Ingredients
Method
The Berry Burst
- In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water. Simmer over medium heat until bubbly and thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.
The Crunchy Base
- In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs, 0.25 cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix until it resembles wet sand and then press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
The Creamy Dream
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Incorporate eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add vanilla extract and melted white chocolate, then stir in sour cream and heavy cream until smooth.
The Assembly of Bliss
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter onto the cookie crust. Spoon dollops of the raspberry mixture over it and swirl with a knife. Top with the remaining batter and sprinkle chopped white chocolate on top.
Bake to Perfection
- Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. Let it cool completely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Notes
Serve with a drizzle of heavy cream or whipped cream. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
