Luscious White Chocolate Cheesecake with Raspberries

Luscious White Chocolate Cheesecake with Raspberries made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 200 g digestive biscuits crushed
  • 100 g unsalted butter melted
  • 400 g cream cheese softened
  • 200 g white chocolate melted and slightly cooled
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 150 g fresh raspberries plus extra for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing the bottom and sides lightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to create an even crust. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to compact it well.
  • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Once baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the melted white chocolate to the cream cheese, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Gradually add the granulated sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined and fluffy.
  • In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate it.
  • Fold in the fresh raspberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Tap the springform pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles that may have formed.
  • Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set properly.
  • Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Garnish the top with additional fresh raspberries for a pop of color and flavor before serving.
