Tasty Presentation Ideas
Make this cheesecake a fancy treat by setting it up beautifully. Put it on a sparkly stand with fresh raspberries, white chocolate curls, and mint sprigs around it. Maybe add some raspberry sauce on the side for extra fruit kick. For big events, sprinkle some powdered sugar or add pretty edible flowers. Serve pieces on fancy plates with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream.
Fun Twists To Try
Switch up this flexible cheesecake by playing with different flavor mixes. Swap in blackberry or strawberry jam for something new, or go wild with mixed berries. Try adding lemon peel to the mix, or swirl in some chocolate. Mix chopped white chocolate chunks into the filling or try a chocolate base instead. For grown-up parties, add a splash of Chambord or other liqueur.
Keeping It Fresh
Keep your cheesecake tasting amazing by storing it right. Pop it in the fridge in a cake box for up to five days, and let it sit out for half an hour before eating. If you want to save it longer, wrap the whole cake or single slices tightly and stick them in the freezer for up to three months. Just move it to the fridge overnight before you plan to eat it.

White Chocolate Raspberry
A creamy dessert with white chocolate layers and bold raspberry streaks—gorgeous and full of flavor.
Ingredients
→ Crust
→ Cheesecake Filling
→ Raspberry Swirl
Steps
Set your oven to 325°F (165°C) and let it preheat. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with some grease, then set it aside.
In a bowl, toss together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter until it feels like damp sand. Take the mixture and press it into the base of the greased pan in an even layer. Leave it alone for now.
Using a large mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese and sugar until silky smooth. Mix in the sour cream until combined nicely. Beat in the eggs one by one, making sure to mix each in well. Stir in the vanilla and melted white chocolate until everything's blended.
Pour the creamy cheesecake mixture over the crust in the pan. Gently level the surface for an even spread.
Spoon dollops of raspberry preserves on top of the cheesecake mixture. Carefully glide a knife through the dollops to create swirls, but don't overdo it or you'll mix too much.
Pop the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. The center should be mostly set but with a tiny jiggle if you nudge it. Turn the oven off, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake sit inside for about an hour so it cools down gradually.
Once the cheesecake's at room temperature, chill it in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours—overnight is even better. When you're ready to eat, slice it up and serve cold. Add fresh raspberries on top if you like.
Notes
- For extra raspberry pop, toss some fresh raspberries on top with your swirl before serving.
- Avoid cracks by mixing the batter gently and letting the cheesecake cool slowly in the oven that's turned off.
