White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
Lord have mercy! Who in the world thought of combining white chocolate, cheesecake & raspberries?? Whoever came up with this recipe idea I honestly and whole heartedly LOVE YOU!!! Seriously.
This white chocolate raspberry cheesecake recipe is the BEST! I've tried about four of them, including The Cheesecake Factory's White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake and pound for pound this lil recipe can hold it's own!! It is so creamy & silky smooth.
I love recipes like this that are simple but the end results look complicated. If you're trying to decided between several recipes for a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake then go with THIS ONE!!
Watch me Make this DELICIOUS Cheesecake from start to finish!
Ingredients (all ingredients should be at room temperature)
1 1/2 cups chocolate cookies (cream removed), crushed (about 2 sleeves of cookies)
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup white chocolate chips (can use more)
4 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup milk
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup of seedless, raspberry preserve
water (to mix with preserve)
Preheat oven to 350
(prepare a water bath to place in the oven while oven is preheating)
Let's Make the Crust!
Step 1.) In a bowl combine the crushed cookie crumbs with the butter and mix until moistened.
Step 2.) Press the crumbs into the bottom of a prepared spring form pan and place in the freezer for at least 10-15 minutes.
Let's Make the Filling!
Step 1.) In a large bowl add the cream cheese and sugar. Beat on low speed until fluffy and free of lumps.
Step 2.) Blend in the milk & mix in the eggs one at a time, beating after each egg.
Step 3.) Add in the sour cream, vanilla, & flour. Mix until well combined
Step 4.) Remove the chilled crust from the freezer and pour on the chocolate chips until there is an even layer.
Step 5.) Pour the cream cheese mixture into the pan. (If you want your raspberry swirls to be all throughout the cheesecake and not just on the top then pour half the batter in the pan, proceed with step 6 and then pour the other half of the batter on top and repeat step 6. Did I confuse you)
Step 6.) In a small bowl, mix raspberry preserve with enough water until it is thin & syrupy. With a spoon place a few swirls of raspberry preserve on top of the cheesecake. Drag a knife through the cheesecake to swirl the raspberry preserve.
Step 7.) Bake for 1 hour. When cheesecake is done simply turn off the oven and let cheesecake cool off completely in the oven.
Step 8.) When cheesecake has cooled, wrap it in saran wrap and place into the refrigerator overnight to completely set. Do not remove from pan until the next day.
This looks really great. I can't wait to check out the rest of your site.
ReplyDeleteI made this last night, and I couldn't get it off my mind until this morning!!! And when I tell you, it made the most delicious cheesecake...I took it to work, and my co-workers swore I bought it!! I'm making another for the house tonight!! It was so easy and good! Thanks Mo!!!
ReplyDeleteI made this for Thanksgiving and it was delish! Everyone raved about it! Some even thought it had been bought at a local cheesecake place. One person requested that I make one for her for Christmas. Hmm, I wonder if I can master baking cheesecakes and sell them for extra cash. :-) Thanks so much Mo for your recipes! They are on point, I also made your Red Velvet Cake and Mac & Cheese recipes on Thanksgiving! Big hits as well!
ReplyDeleteI made this for Christmas but I did it with Splenda and sugar free raspberry preserves. It was fantastic! I was worried with the no sugar thing it wouldn't be sweet but my fam loved it. Thanks for that great recipe!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for trying out the recipe!! Glad to hear it turned out well!
ReplyDeletei tried it and the TASTE turned out good but we had some problems...walmart didn't have any seedless raspberry preserves so we got strawberry and i couldn't get it to do the little swirl thing at on the top i could barely tell that i added any preserves =( but it was still good
ReplyDeleteHi I wanted to know if I preheat the oven when I am making the filling and crust or after everythings already made? because sometimes I preheat the oven and while its preheating I am making the cake and when I put it in within 15 mins the top is burned..Is that because I should preheat the oven after everythings done and just stick it in their?
ReplyDeletehi.. i wanna clarify that.. is 4(8oz) packages of cream cheese means total is 32oz? or just need 8oz?
ReplyDeleteI'm really confused on the water bath/baking part. I haven't baked a cheesecake yet. Do you just put a water bath in the oven while it's preheating/how do you do this? Also, how much aluminum foil do you line around the springform pan? I can't tell in the video. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJust want to say, this was the best and easiest cheesecake I EVER made. Thank You for all the tips and
ReplyDeleteEspecially the video! Can't wait to try some more of your recipes!!!
Keep up the great work!!!!
