- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- ½ cup half‑and‑half cream
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup white sugar (for filling)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 325 °F (165 °C). Line a 9‑inch springform pan or wrap it in foil.

- Make raspberry sauce: in saucepan combine raspberries, water, sugar, cornstarch; bring to a boil, cook ~5 min until thick, strain and set aside.
- Melt white chocolate chips with half‑and‑half over simmering water, stir until smooth.
- In large bowl beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth; beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla, then melted white‑chocolate mixture.
- Pour half batter over crust; spoon ~3 tbsp raspberry sauce over; top with remaining batter and remaining sauce; swirl with knife.
- Bake 55–60 min until set at edges and slightly jiggly in center.
- Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
- Remove pan, serve with extra raspberry sauce or fresh raspberries.
Notes
- You can use a water bath to prevent cracks.
- Straining sauce removes seeds for a smooth swirl.
- Allow batter to cool slightly before spooning to preserve swirl effect.
