Instructions

1. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix with cocoa powder, sugar, and melted butter. Press into a springform pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes.

2. In a saucepan, cook raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch until thickened. Strain to remove seeds and let cool.

3. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, sour cream, eggs, melted white chocolate, vanilla, buttermilk, and food coloring. Mix just until combined.

4. Pour half the batter over the crust. Drop spoonfuls of raspberry sauce and swirl. Repeat with remaining batter and swirl again.

5. Place the pan in a water bath and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 55–65 minutes until center is almost set.

6. Let cheesecake cool in oven with door cracked. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

7. Serve with whipped cream, extra raspberry swirl, or white chocolate shavings.

Notes

Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.

Use a hot knife to slice the cheesecake cleanly.

Don’t overmix once eggs are added to avoid cracks.
