White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake

Course Desert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag frozen raspberries 12 ounces
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 20 cookies) 216 g
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted ½ stick / 57 g
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips 364 g
  • 3 packages cream cheese, softened 8 ounces each
  • ½ cup granulated sugar 100 g
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream 119 g
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Make the Raspberry Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the raspberries, water, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down, stirring occasionally. Strain the mixture to remove seeds, then return the sauce to the saucepan. Dissolve cornstarch in a small amount of water and add to the sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened. Set aside to cool.
  • Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix the crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and ½ cup of sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the melted white chocolate and whipping cream, mixing until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake filling on top of the crust in the prepared pan. Dollop about 4 tablespoons of the raspberry sauce on top of the filling. Carefully swirl the raspberry sauce into the filling using a knife or toothpick. Pour the remaining cheesecake filling over the swirled layer and smooth the top.
  • Bake: Place the pan in a larger baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Serve: Drizzle the remaining raspberry sauce over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
