Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups (567 grams) cream cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 150 grams white chocolate, melted
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) white chocolate chunks
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
Crust Ingredients:
- 300 grams digestive biscuits
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 340°F and prepare an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper lining for easy removal.
- Create the crust by finely grinding cookies and blending with melted butter, then firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Craft the filling by thoroughly beating cream cheese until smooth, gradually incorporating sugar and vanilla extract for consistent texture.
- Integrate eggs individually into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Gently fold in sour cream and cornstarch, creating a silky smooth consistency.
- Melt white chocolate carefully, then fold into the cheesecake batter, distributing evenly to create a luxurious marbled effect.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, watching for slight wobble in the center indicating perfect doneness.
- Turn off oven and allow cheesecake to cool inside for one hour, preventing potential cracking.
- Remove from oven and refrigerate for 3-4 hours until completely set and chilled.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries and dust lightly with powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles before baking, ensuring a smooth, crack-free surface.
- Bring cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream to room temperature for smoother, lump-free mixing and better texture.
- Swap white chocolate with dark or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile, or use a mix of chocolates for complexity.
- Replace graham crackers with gluten-free cookie crumbs or ground nuts to create a celiac-friendly crust that’s equally delicious.
