This White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake is an easy no bake cheesecake for summer! It is SO smooth and creamy and you don't ever have to turn on the oven. It's the perfect no bake dessert for showing off summer berries -- strawberries or blueberries work just as well! Includes step by step RECIPE VIDEO
1 1/2cupspowdered sugar(reduce to 1 cup for a less sweet cheesecake)
1teaspoonvanilla
1 1/2cupsfresh raspberries
Instructions
Raspberry Sauce
In a small pot, add the raspberries and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes. Mash with a spatula.
Combine water and corn starch and stir into sauce to thicken. Set aside to cool completely (you can speed this up by pouring into a new bowl and placing in the fridge).
Crust
OPTIONAL: Clamp a piece of parchment paper in between the bottom and the outer ring of a 9" Springform pan. This helps with easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press into the bottom and 1" up the sides of a 9-10" springform pan. Set aside.
Filling
In a medium bowl, stir together white chocolate and 1/4 cup cream. Microwave on high for 40 seconds, then stir until completely smooth (heat another 15 seconds if necessary). Place in the fridge to cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, and remaining 1/4 cup cream and beat on high until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
Add cooled melted white chocolate and beat on medium speed until incorporated.
Place fresh raspberries into the bottom of the crust and pour the cheesecake filling over top, smoothing with a spatula.
Drop teaspoonfuls of raspberry sauce on the top, and gently swirl. Save remaining sauce for serving.
Chill at least 8 hours or overnight before serving. Serve with remaining raspberry sauce and fresh raspberries as desired.

Notes
I use frozen raspberries for this recipe, but fresh will work just as well!
