Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1/3 cup butter, melted
– 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
– 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
– 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted (for top layer)
– Few drops of red food coloring (optional)
– Fresh raspberries and white chocolate curls for garnish
Directions:
1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the sour cream.
3. Create the Swirl: Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Drizzle with half of the melted white chocolate and half of the raspberry preserves. Use a knife to swirl and create a marbled effect. Repeat with the remaining cream cheese mixture, white chocolate, and raspberry preserves. For a more vibrant color, add a few drops of red food coloring to the raspberry preserves before swirling.
4. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake, then let it cool completely before removing the rim of the pan.
5. Add the Final Touch: Once the cheesecake has cooled, pour the remaining 1 cup of melted white chocolate over the top and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
6. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries and white chocolate curls.
