Make this creamy white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. Prepare ahead - takes 8 hours or overnight to refrigerate and set.
Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 1 hr
Ingredients:
1 cup | chocolate cookie crumbs |
3 tablespoons | white sugar |
1/4 cup | butter, melted |
1 (10-ounce) package | frozen raspberries |
2 tablespoons | white sugar |
2 teaspoons | cornstarch |
1/2 cup | water |
2 cups | white chocolate chips |
1/2 cup | half-and-half cream |
3 (8-ounce) packages | cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup | white sugar |
3 | eggs |
1 teaspoon | vanilla extract |
Directions:
In a medium bowl, mix together cookie crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
In a saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to boil, and continue boiling 5 minutes, or until sauce is thick. Strain sauce through a mesh strainer to remove seeds.
Preheat oven to 325°. In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt white chocolate chips with half-and-half, stirring occasionally until smooth.
In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in vanilla and melted white chocolate. Pour half of batter over crust. Spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over batter. Pour remaining cheesecake batter into pan, and again spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over the top. Swirl batter with the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until filling is set. Cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours before removing from pan. Serve with remaining raspberry sauce.
