Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

⅓ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Raspberry Swirl:

1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Cheesecake Filling:

24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs

8 oz white chocolate, melted and cooled

½ cup sour cream

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

      - In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.

        - Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

          Make the Raspberry Swirl:

            - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring gently until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Let cool.

              Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

                - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).

                  - Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed with each addition until just combined.

                    - Gently fold in the melted white chocolate and sour cream until the mixture is smooth. Do not overmix.

                      Assemble the Cheesecake:

                        - Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Drizzle half of the raspberry sauce over the batter. Use a knife to gently swirl the batter and raspberry sauce together, creating a marbled effect.

                          - Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top and again swirl with the remaining raspberry sauce.

                            Bake:

                              - Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

                                - Turn off the oven, crack the oven door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 1 hour.

                                  Chill:

                                    - Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set fully.

                                      Serve:

                                        - Before serving, you can drizzle leftover raspberry sauce over the cheesecake if desired. Slice carefully and enjoy!
