Ingredients

• White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
• Made to take to Jen and Mark's for Valentine's 2009. Aaron said it was as good as Olive Garden's.
• 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 10-ounce package frozen raspberries
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup half and half
• 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a medium bowl, mix cookie 
crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar and melted butter until well blended. Press mixture 
onto the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. 
To make raspberry sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 
tablespoons sugar, cornstarch and water. Bring to boil. Continue boiling until 
sauce is thick and clear. Strain sauce through a mesh strainer to remove seeds. 
Set aside. In the top of a double boiler, heat white chocolate chips and half-and-
half, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from 
heat and allow to cool to lukewarm. 
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs, 
one at a time. Blend in vanilla and melted white chocolate chips. Pour half of 
batter over crust. Spoon 3 tablespoons of raspberry sauce over batter. Pour 
remaining batter into pan. Spoon another 3 tablespoons of raspberry sauce over 
the top of the batter. Swirl batter with the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect. 
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until filling is set. Allow to 
cool, cover with plastic, and refrigerate for 8 hours before removing from pan. 
Serve with remaining raspberry sauce.
