Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well blended.
- Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the melted white chocolate, sugar, and vanilla extract, and continue to mix until combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them.
Bake the Cheesecake
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggles when moved.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 1 hour.
Chill
- Once cooled, remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Serve
- Before serving, consider garnishing with additional raspberries and whipped cream for a beautiful presentation.
