White Chocolate Raspberry Cake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 1/4 cup white sugar
02 - 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
03 - 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers

→ Cheesecake Filling

04 - 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
05 - 1 cup fresh raspberries
06 - 3 large eggs
07 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
08 - 16 ounces of softened cream cheese
09 - 1 cup granulated sugar

→ Raspberry Sauce

10 - 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
11 - 1/4 cup sugar
12 - 1 cup fresh raspberries

# Instructions:

01 - Heat oven to 160°C, then grease a 9-inch springform pan to prevent sticking.
02 - Stir melted butter, sugar, and graham cracker crumbs together in a bowl until it feels like wet sand. Press it into the bottom of your pan until firm. Bake for around 8-10 minutes, then take it out to cool.
03 - Beat cream cheese and sugar together in a big bowl until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Add vanilla and make sure it’s well blended.
04 - Beat in eggs, one at a time, blending the mixture thoroughly after each egg. Slowly stir in melted white chocolate to combine.
05 - Carefully fold in raspberries, making sure not to smash them so they stay whole.
06 - Pour your filling over the cooled crust and use a spatula to smooth out the top.
07 - Pop it in the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes. It’s ready when the center is firm yet slightly wobbly. Turn off heat and leave cheesecake inside the oven for another hour.
08 - Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature once it’s out of the oven. Afterward, put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better.
09 - Place raspberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a small pot over medium heat. Stir gently until the berries soften and the mixture thickens, which takes about 5-7 minutes. Cool it down before using.
10 - Cut the cheesecake into slices and drizzle raspberry sauce on top before enjoying.

# Notes:

01 - To make things easier, leave all your dairy ingredients out until they’re room temperature before starting.
02 - Keep leftover cheesecake in the fridge for up to 5 days.
