Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full crackers, finely crushed)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 24 ounces (680 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces (225 g) white chocolate, chopped
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen black raspberries (thawed and drained if frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for raspberry swirl)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Mix until crumbs resemble wet sand. Press firmly into bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes, then cool.
  2. Puree black raspberries with 2 tablespoons sugar and lemon juice in blender or food processor until smooth. Strain through fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside.
  3. Melt white chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently. Let cool slightly but do not harden.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and beat until incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth. Slowly mix in melted white chocolate until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour about two-thirds of cheesecake batter over cooled crust, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of black raspberry puree over batter, then pour remaining batter on top. Use toothpick or skewer to gently swirl puree into batter, creating marbled effect without over-swirl.
  6. Bake on middle rack for 50-60 minutes. Edges should be set; center will jiggle slightly. Turn off oven, crack door open, and cool cheesecake inside for 1 hour.
  7. Remove cheesecake from oven and cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight to set and meld flavors.
  8. Run thin knife around edges before unlatching springform pan. Slice with warm, wet knife, wiping between cuts for clean edges.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for smooth batter. Melt white chocolate slowly to avoid scorching. Strain raspberry puree to remove seeds for smooth swirl. Avoid overmixing batter to prevent cracks. Cool cheesecake gradually with oven door ajar to minimize cracking. Chill overnight for best flavor and texture. For dairy-free or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients accordingly.
