Ingredients

Scale

Raspberry Sauce:

  • 12 ounces raspberries, frozen or fresh (you may want a few extra fresh, for garnish)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Crust:

  • 2 ½ cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs (about 25-ish Oreos)
  • 6 tablespoons butter (melted)

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 3 8-oz packages cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • ¾ cup sour cream

Garnish:

  • fresh raspberries (for garnish)
  • white chocolate curls (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sauce
    Place frozen berries, sugar, and 2 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Stir occasionally, mashing berries with your spoon until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook about 5 minutes.
  2. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon water with cornstarch in a small bowl and then add the mixture to the sauce. Stirring consistently, allow to simmer for about 1 minute until slightly thickened. Pour sauce through a fine-mesh strainer to remove seeds. Set aside. This sauce can be made several days ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
  3. Crust
    Combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture onto the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan.
  4. Cheesecake
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt white chocolate chips. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, extracts, sour cream, and flour. Slowly drizzle in melted chocolate. Pour half the mixture over the crust, drizzle with raspberry sauce, add remaining filling, and swirl in more sauce. Bake in a water bath for 70-80 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven, cool, and refrigerate for 6-8 hours. Serve chilled with raspberry sauce, fresh berries, and white chocolate curls.

Notes

  • For best results, use high-quality white chocolate for a rich flavor.
  • To easily create white chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler on a room temperature white chocolate bar.
