Ingredients
 
 

Graham Cracker Crust

  • cup graham crackers about 12 sheets
  • 5 tbsp butter unsalted, melted
  • 1 tbsp sugar

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake

  • lbs cream cheese 3-8oz blocks, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips melted, cooled
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 18 oz raspberries 3-6 oz packages, about 3 cups
  • 3 eggs room temperature
  • ½ tbsp vanilla
  • ½ tsp kosher salt

Raspberry Sauce

  • 12 oz raspberries 2-6 oz packages, about 2 cups
  • ½ cup sugar

Springform Pan

  • ½ tbsp butter unsalted, softened

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F or gas mark 3.
  • In a food processor grind the graham crackers into crumbs. In a mixing bowl combine the crumbs, sugar, and 5 tablespoons of the melted butter. Pour the mixture into a parchment paper lined springform pan. Using the back of a measuring cup or flat bottomed glass to make an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes. While the crust is baking bring a tea pot of water to a boil.
  • Combine the brown sugar and raspberries in a saucepan and heat over medium high heat until all of the raspberries have released their juices and have started reducing. Strain into a bowl to remove the seeds and pulp. Add back to the saucepan and cook until the mixture has reduced to about ⅓-½ cup. Remove from the heat and cool.
  • Reduce the temperature to 300°F or gas mark 2.
  • In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment beat the cream cheese until light and add the sugars. One at a time add the eggs and beat for a minute between each egg. Scrape down the side as needed. Add the white chocolate, vanilla, salt, cooled raspberry reduction, and sour cream.
  • Use remaining tablespoon of butter and brush the sides of the springform pan and dust with a little flour. Pour the cheesecake batter into the pan. Line the entire pan with foil, place in the roasting pan and fill the pan up with the boiling water. Bake for an hour or until when the cheesecake is tapped only the center has a slight wobble.
  • Turn off the oven and crack the door open using a wooden spoon. Allow the oven to cool completely before removing it from the oven. Allow to cool to room temperature. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight.
  • When the cheesecake is cold prepare the raspberry sauce by adding the raspberries and sugar and cook until reduced to a thickened liquid. Strain the seeds and pulp out if desired. Allow to cool and pour over the cheesecake. Remove from the springform pan.
