Elegant White Chocolate Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake 

Ingredients:
For the Crust:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:

24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
8 oz white chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
For the Raspberry Swirl:

1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp water
1 tsp cornstarch
Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Make the Crust:

In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to pack it tightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.
Make the Raspberry Swirl:

In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, water, and cornstarch.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside to cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in the sour cream until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the melted white chocolate until evenly incorporated.
Assemble the Cheesecake:

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled graham cracker crust in the springform pan.
Drop spoonfuls of the raspberry sauce over the top of the cheesecake filling.
Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the raspberry sauce into the cheesecake filling, creating a marbled effect.
Bake the Cheesecake:

Place the springform pan on a large baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.
Chill and Serve:

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
Serve:

Before serving, run a knife around the edge of the springform pan to loosen the cheesecake. Remove the sides of the pan.
Slice and serve the Elegant White Chocolate Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake chilled. Enjoy the creamy texture, decadent white chocolate, and vibrant raspberry swirls!
