Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 26–30 Oreo cookies, finely crushed (about 2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, melted

Raspberry Sauce

  • 12 ounces fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons cornstarch

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup cream or half-and-half
  • 32 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature

Topping

  • 2 ounces white chocolate, grated or shaved
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the crust and cheesecake layers.
  2. Prepare the Crust: Mix the finely crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9×3-inch springform pan. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven.
  3. Make the Raspberry Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, water, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook while stirring until the mixture thickens and starts boiling, about 5 minutes. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds and set aside.
  4. Melt White Chocolate: In the microwave, melt white chocolate chips with the cream or half-and-half in short 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  5. Prepare Cheesecake Batter: Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Add granulated sugar, sour cream, and flour, mixing well until combined.
  6. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time on low speed, mixing just until incorporated to avoid overmixing.
  7. Incorporate White Chocolate and Vanilla: Mix in the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract gently until just combined.
  8. Layer the Cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust. Spoon half of the raspberry sauce (about 3 tablespoons) over the batter and swirl gently with a skewer or knife to marble.
  9. Add Remaining Batter and Sauce: Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top, then dollop the rest of the raspberry sauce and swirl again to create a marbled effect.
  10. Bake the Cheesecake: Place the springform pan in a water bath by placing a pan of water on the rack below the cheesecake in the oven. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  11. Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool for another hour at room temperature. Then refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until completely chilled and set.
  12. Prepare and Add Topping: Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Sprinkle the cheesecake with grated or shaved white chocolate and pipe the whipped cream into decorative swirls around the edges for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Using a water bath during baking prevents cracking and promotes even cooking.
  • For best results, chill cheesecake overnight if possible before serving.
  • Fresh or frozen raspberries can be used for the sauce; thaw frozen raspberries first.
  • Use a gentle hand when swirling raspberry sauce into batter to create pretty designs without overmixing.
  • White chocolate can be substituted with high-quality white chocolate chips for melting.
