Ingredients
Method
Preparation of the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
- Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Let it cool while you prepare the filling.
Make the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Add the melted white chocolate (make sure it’s not too hot!) and mix until smooth and dreamy.
Whip the Cream
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Delicately fold in the fresh raspberries.
Fill and Chill
- Pour the luscious filling into the cooled crust.
- Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight if you can resist!).
Make the Truffle Topping
- In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream until just simmering.
- Remove from heat, add the chopped white chocolate, and stir until smooth.
- Allow to cool slightly before pouring over the chilled cheesecake.
Garnish and Serve
- Once the topping has set (about 30 minutes), release the sides of the springform pan.
- Top with extra raspberries for that oh-so-pretty finish.
- Slice, serve, and watch everyone fall in love with your creation!
Notes
Try using different fruits like strawberries or blueberries for variations. This cheesecake works great as a make-ahead dessert too.
