Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

For the cheesecake filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup packed brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 oz white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled

½ cup sour cream

For the raspberry swirl:

1 cup fresh raspberries

¼ cup sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.

    Make the raspberry swirl: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the berries begin to break down. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional 2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

      Mix the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, melted white chocolate, and sour cream until fully incorporated and creamy.

        Combine: Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Drizzle half of the raspberry mixture over the batter, using a knife or a skewer to gently swirl it in. Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top and finish with the remaining raspberry swirl, again swirling gently.

          Bake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour.

            Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.

              Serve: Run a knife around the edge of the springform pan before releasing the sides. Slice and serve chilled, garnished with extra fresh raspberries or white chocolate shavings if desired.
