Ingredients
  

Raspberry Sauce:

  • 1 ½ teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 ½ teaspoon water
  • 7 ounces frozen raspberries
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar

Crust:

  • 18 Oreo cookies
  • 4 Tablespoons butter melted

Batter:

  • 1 cup white chocolate chopped
  • 16 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cup sugar
  • 2 ½ cup sour cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Pinch of salt

To Decorate:

  • Freshly-whipped cream
  • Fresh raspberries

Instructions
 

Make the Raspberry Sauce:

  • Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl; set aside. Combine the raspberries and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly while breaking up the raspberries as the mixture begins to cook.
  • Once simmering, add the cornstarch mixture. Continue stirring, and allow mixture to simmer for 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and press mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Chill in the refrigerator while you work on the rest of the cheesecake.

Make the Crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 325ºF and spray a 10-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Crush the Oreos in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and mix until all the crumbs are moistened. Press firmly into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 10-13 minutes. Remove from the oven, and reduce oven temperature to 275ºF.

Make the Batter:

  • Place the white chocolate in a small bowl and heat in the microwave for one minute. Remove, stir, then microwave another 20-30 seconds until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the sour cream, eggs, vanilla, and salt and beat just until combined. Add the melted white chocolate and stir until smooth.
  • Pour cheesecake batter into the cooled crust, smoothing out the top. Drop teaspoonfuls of the raspberry sauce on top, then use a skewer or toothpick to swirl throughout the batter. Bake for about 2 hours or until the sides of the cake are set (about 2 inches in) and the center still wiggles.
  • Once done, turn the oven off and keep the oven door open a few inches. Allow cheesecake to sit in the oven for 1 hour before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours (I like to chill it overnight) or until completely chilled.
  • Once chilled, decorate cheesecake with whipped cream and fresh raspberries. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
