Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.33 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz cream cheese softened, full-fat
  • 1 cup sugar granulated
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest from fresh lemons
  • 0.25 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 8 oz white chocolate melted, high-quality with cocoa butter

Raspberry Swirl

  • 1 cup raspberries fresh or thawed frozen
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and sugar until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then cool completely.

Mix the Cheesecake Filling

  • Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until lump-free. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and melted white chocolate until evenly blended.

Create Raspberry Swirls

  • In a saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened, then strain to remove seeds. Cool slightly. Pour half the cheesecake filling into the crust, drizzle with raspberry sauce, and swirl gently. Add remaining filling and repeat swirling. Bake at 325°F for 60 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly. Cool in oven with door ajar, then chill for 6 hours or overnight.

Notes

  • 1- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor.
  • 2- Fresh lemon juice and zest are essential for that zesty kick.
  • 3- Let the cheesecake chill properly to prevent cracks.
