Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a compact crust. Bake for 8 minutes and allow to cool.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the raspberries break down. Strain if desired and set aside to cool.
- Break the white chocolate into small pieces and microwave in 20-second intervals until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently. Incorporate vanilla extract, sour cream, heavy cream, and the cooled melted white chocolate until combined.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust. Drizzle half of the raspberry sauce and swirl with a skewer. Pour remaining batter and drizzle remaining sauce, swirling again.
- Prepare a water bath and bake the cheesecake for 60-70 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Remove and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Garnish with extra raspberry sauce or fresh berries before serving.

Notes
Ensure to compress the graham cracker crumb mixture firmly; a stable crust prevents crumbling. Avoid overmixing after adding eggs to prevent cracks in the cheesecake. Bake in a water bath for even cooking.
