Why You’ll Love This Decadent White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake

Think about the last time you saw a cheesecake and thought, “Wow, I could really use a slice of that!” Now imagine that cheesecake wrapped in silky white chocolate, adorned with tangy raspberries. It’s the ultimate combination of creamy, sweet, and fruity!

Ingredients

Before we get our hands messy in the kitchen, let’s gather the ingredients—because who likes scurrying around when you’re ready to bake? Here’s what you’ll need for this cheesecake masterpiece.

For the crust:

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

• 2 packs (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup white chocolate, melted
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh raspberries (and some more for garnish, because aesthetics)

Directions

Step 1: Prepping the Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (that’s around 160°C for my metric friends).
2. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until it resembles wet sand—like the beach, but without the pesky sand between your toes.
3. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Make sure it’s nice and even. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool!

Step 2: Making the Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Channel your inner rockstar and go for it!
2. Gradually add in the melted white chocolate and sugar, mixing until well combined.
3. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing after each until just incorporated (overmixing makes it sad and rubbery).
4. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract and gently fold in those gorgeous raspberries.

Step 3: Baking Time

1. Pour the cheesecake filling over your cooled crust.
2. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly—just like all of us during a workout class, right?
3. Turn off the oven and crack the door, letting the cheesecake cool inside for an hour. This helps prevent cracking (we want the dessert to look as good as it tastes).

Step 4: Chill and Serve

1. Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours, but ideally overnight. (Patience is a virtue, after all!)
2. When you’re ready to serve, carefully release it from the springform pan and garnish with additional raspberries and maybe a drizzle of white chocolate if you’re feeling extra fancy.

Cooking Tips

• Make-Ahead Magic: This cheesecake is perfect for preparing in advance. Just pop it in the fridge and let it chill.
• No Fresh Raspberries? No Problem! You can use frozen raspberries instead; just thaw and drain them well before folding into the filling.
• Want More Flavor? Feel free to add a splash of lemon juice or zest for a delightful zing!

FAQs

Can I substitute cream cheese?
Absolutely! If you need a lighter option, you can use Neufchâtel cheese, which has less fat but still maintains that creamy texture.

How do I store leftovers?
Keep your cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. But let’s be honest—leftovers? They’re a rare phenomenon here!
