Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Cover the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with double layers of aluminum foil. (Prep Time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Mix together cookie crumbs, 1 tablespoon sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press mixture into bottom of pan. (Prep Time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan. Bring to boil and continue boiling until sauce is thick, about 5 minutes. Strain sauce through a mesh strainer to remove seeds. (Prep Time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Melt white chocolate chips with milk in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. (Prep Time: 8 minutes)

05

Step

Mix together Neufchatel cheese and 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Blend in vanilla extract and melted white chocolate. Pour half the batter over crust. Spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over batter. Pour remaining cheesecake batter into pan and spoon 3 more tablespoons of raspberry sauce over batter. Swirl batter with tip of knife to create marbled effect. Place pan in a roasting pan and fill roasting pan with hot water to reach halfway up outside of pan. (Prep Time: 20 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in preheated until filling is set, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours before removing from pan. Serve with remaining raspberry sauce. (Bake Time: 60 minutes, Chill Time: 8 hours)

For an extra rich flavor, use dark chocolate cookie crumbs.
Be careful not to overbake the cheesecake, as this can cause it to crack. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent it with foil.
Make sure your Neufchatel cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the batter.
You can use fresh raspberries instead of frozen, but you may need to adjust the amount of sugar depending on their sweetness.
The water bath is crucial for creating a creamy, evenly baked cheesecake. Don't skip it!
