Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until sandy. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes and let cool.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 5–7 minutes until thickened. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Chop white chocolate and melt in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually add eggs, mixing well. Incorporate vanilla, sour cream, and heavy cream, blending well. Fold in melted white chocolate.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Drizzle half of the raspberry sauce and swirl gently. Add remaining batter and raspberry sauce, swirling again.
- Prepare a water bath by placing the springform pan inside a larger roasting pan filled with hot water halfway up the sides. Bake for 60–70 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
- Once baked, turn off the oven and crack the door open. Cool for about 1 hour in the oven. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, top with raspberry sauce or fresh berries. Slice with a hot knife for clean cuts and enjoy.

Notes
Ensure graham cracker mixture is firmly pressed into the pan and always use a water bath during baking to minimize cracks. Refrigerate overnight for optimal flavor.
