No-Bake White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
Description
This dessert features layers of creamy white chocolate cheesecake, swirls of vibrant raspberry sauce, and a buttery graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Raspberry Sauce
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
White Chocolate Cheesecake Filling
- 12 oz white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Raspberry Sauce
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook until thickened, about 5–7 minutes.
- Strain the sauce through a sieve to remove seeds and set aside to cool.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- Melt the white chocolate and let it cool slightly.
- Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold in the melted white chocolate, then gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake
- Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust. Drizzle some raspberry sauce and use a knife to swirl it through the layer.
- Add the remaining filling and repeat the swirling process with more raspberry sauce on top.
- Cover and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Step 5: Serve
- Carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with fresh raspberries, white chocolate shavings, or additional raspberry sauce. Slice and enjoy!
