Ingredients
26–30 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
1/4 cup salted butter, melted
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
12 ounces fresh or frozen raspberries
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 teaspoons cornstarch
2 ounces white chocolate, grated or shaved
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Combine crushed Oreos with melted butter and press into the bottom and sides of a tall 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes and set aside.
- For the raspberry swirl, combine raspberries, water, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened and boiling. Strain to remove seeds and set aside.
- Melt white chocolate chips with cream in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Beat cream cheese until creamy. Mix in granulated sugar, sour cream, and flour until combined.
- Add eggs on low speed just until incorporated.
- Mix in melted white chocolate and vanilla extract.
- Pour half of the batter into the crust, spoon half of the raspberry sauce on top, and gently swirl with a knife. Repeat with remaining batter and sauce.
- Bake for 60–70 minutes, placing a pan of water on the rack below the cheesecake.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
- Cool at room temperature for another hour, then refrigerate for 3–4 hours.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Top cheesecake with white chocolate shavings and pipe whipped cream around the edges before serving.
Notes
Frozen raspberries work just as well as fresh.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the texture creamy.
Overnight chilling improves flavor and texture.
Let slices sit briefly at room temperature before serving for best texture.
