Description
This No Bake White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake is a creamy, rich dessert that blends sweet white chocolate with tangy raspberries in a luscious, chilled cheesecake—no oven required!
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup melted butter
- 200 grams good quality white chocolate (about 1 ¼ cups, chopped)
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, divided
- 3 packages cream cheese (750 grams or 24 oz total), room temperature
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries, granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, mashing the berries.
- Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Stir into the raspberry mixture and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
- Combine chopped white chocolate and ¼ cup of heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 40 seconds, stir until smooth. If needed, heat an additional 15 seconds. Cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and remaining ¼ cup heavy cream. Beat until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cooled white chocolate mixture to the cream cheese and beat until incorporated.
- Place fresh raspberries on the crust. Pour the filling over the raspberries and smooth the top.
- Drop teaspoonfuls of raspberry sauce on top and swirl with a knife to marble. Reserve extra sauce for serving.
- Chill cheesecake for at least 8 hours or overnight until set.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries if desired and serve with reserved raspberry sauce.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
- Ensure white chocolate is fully cooled before mixing into filling to avoid melting the cream cheese.
- This dessert is great made a day ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to serve.
