Instructions 🍴
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). This ensures your cheesecake will bake evenly.
2. Make the Crust:
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
Next, press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the base of your cheesecake.
Bake the crust in the oven for about 10 minutes, then remove it and set aside to cool.
3. Prepare the Filling:
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add vanilla extract and mix it in well. Then, add the eggs, one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
Carefully fold in the melted white chocolate until it is fully incorporated into the mixture. This step adds that creamy, indulgent flavor!
4. Add Raspberries:
Now, gently fold in the fresh raspberries. Be careful not to crush them too much to keep their texture intact and create those beautiful pockets of berry goodness throughout the cheesecake.
5. Bake the Cheesecake:
Pour the prepared cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center of the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly.
Once baked, turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
6. Chill:
After it’s cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal to let the flavors develop and the texture set perfectly.
7. Serve:
Once chilled, carefully run a knife around the edges of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan. Remove the sides of the springform pan.
Top your cheesecake with whipped cream, fresh raspberries, and white chocolate curls for a decorative and delicious finish. 🌟
