Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease springform pan with butter.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a bowl; press into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for about 8 minutes until slightly golden, then cool.
  3. In a saucepan, cook raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until thickened. Optional: strain to remove seeds.
  4. Melt white chocolate gently and let cool slightly.
  5. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth, adding eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla, sour cream, heavy cream, and white chocolate until combined.
  6. Pour half the cheesecake batter into the crust, swirl half the raspberry sauce, then layer remaining batter and more raspberry sauce on top.
  7. Place the springform pan in a larger baking pan filled with hot water and bake for 60–70 minutes until edges are set.
  8. Cool in the oven with the door cracked for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
