Ingredients 🧈🥚
Crust
-3 cups crushed Oreos
-1 tbsp sugar
-1/4 cup + 2 tbsp melted butter
Raspberry sauce
-3 3/4 cups (15oz) raspberries
-3/4 cups water
-3 tbsp sugar
-1 tbsp cornstarch
Cheesecake filling
-2 cups (12oz) white chocolate, chopped
-1/2 cup heavy cream
-3 packages cream cheese
-3 eggs
-1 tsp vanilla
Instructions 📝
Crust
1. Mix together all crust ingredients in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9in springform pan. Set aside.
Sauce
1. Combine all sauce ingredients together in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Let boil until thick, 5 mins. Strain to remove seeds.
Filling
1. Preheat oven to 325 F
2. Melt white chocolate with heavy cream in a bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth.
3. Add cream cheese & sugar to a large bowl & beat until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla & chocolate and mix until smooth
4. Pour half of the filling over the crust. Add raspberry sauce on top & cover with remaining filling
5. Add more sauce on top & swirl batter with a toothpick or knife
6. Before placing cheesecake in a large baking pan, wrap the outside of the cheesecake pan tightly with 3-4 layers of aluminum foil
7. Carefully add hot water to large baking pan until it reaches halfway up the cheesecake pan
8. Bake for 50 mins, then turn off the oven. Leave the cheesecake in oven for 10 mins. Then crack the oven door and let sit for another 45-60 mins. Take cheesecake out & let sit on the counter for 30-45 mins. Then let sit in the fridge for 6-8 hours. This will take time but it will prevent your cheesecake from cracking
From my own baking experience, the key to achieving a perfectly smooth cheesecake is patience during the cooling stage. After baking, letting the cheesecake slowly transition from oven heat to room temperature, then chilling it for at least 6 to 8 hours, significantly reduces the chance of cracks forming on the surface. Using crushed Oreos for the crust adds a delightful crunch and rich chocolate flavor that pairs wonderfully with the creamy white chocolate cheesecake filling. To enhance the texture, I recommend pressing the crust firmly into the springform pan so it holds together well when slicing. For the raspberry sauce, straining out the seeds after boiling creates a silky smooth topping, which contrasts nicely with the creamy filling underneath. When swirling the sauce into the cheesecake batter, a gentle touch with a toothpick or knife creates beautiful marbled patterns that make the dessert visually appealing. Also, wrapping the outside of the springform pan with 3-4 layers of aluminum foil before a water bath helps prevent water from seeping in and allows even baking. The water bath brings moisture that keeps the cheesecake soft and prevents drying. I found melting the white chocolate with heavy cream over simmering water is much better than microwaving because it ensures even melting without overheating or burning the chocolate. Mixing the cream cheese and sugar well before adding eggs helps achieve a smooth filling without lumps. Overall, this recipe balances sweetness and tartness perfectly — the white chocolate adds creamy richness, while the raspberry sauce provides a fresh fruity tang. This cheesecake is a fantastic homemade alternative that can rival popular restaurant desserts and impress your friends and family.
