Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

White Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 8 ounces white chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Raspberry Topping:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Crust:

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow it to cool.

White Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:

  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it's smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add the sugar, then beat in the eggs, one at a time.
  • Stir in the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  • Pour the filling over the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Raspberry Topping:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries and sugar. Cook until the raspberries break down and the mixture reaches a jam-like consistency. Strain the jam through a fine mesh sieve and allow the raspberry mixture to cool.

Assembling and baking the cheesecake bars:

  • Once the jam mixture has cooled drop spoonfuls onto the cream cheese layer. Use a knife to create beautiful swirl patterns.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned.
  • Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, before slicing into bars.

Notes

  • Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother filling.
    Avoid overbeating the filling, as too much air can cause cracks.
  • For clean, sharp edges, make sure your bars are fully chilled before slicing.
  • Cover any leftover bars in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months - thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
