Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 25 cookies)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 8 ounces high-quality white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for raspberry sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for raspberry sauce)
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the crushed Oreos, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool while you prepare the filling. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Prepare the water bath: Wrap the outside bottom of the springform pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent water leakage. Set the pan inside a larger roasting pan.
  3. Make the raspberry sauce: Combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 8 minutes. Press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside to cool.
  4. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat in 1 1/2 cups sugar and flour until combined. Mix in vanilla extract and salt.
  5. Beat in the sour cream, then beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing only until just combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the slightly cooled melted white chocolate until streaks disappear.
  7. Pour about two-thirds of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust.
  8. Dollop spoonfuls of the cooled raspberry sauce over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the raspberry sauce through the batter to create a marbled effect.
  9. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until the water reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This water bath prevents cracking.
  10. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center should still have a slight jiggle.
  11. Turn off the oven, prop the door open slightly, and allow the cheesecake to cool slowly inside the oven for 1 hour. This slow cooling prevents cracking.
  12. Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and foil. Cool completely on a wire rack, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  13. Prepare the white chocolate topping: Heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Pour the hot cream over the 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips in a small bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Let the ganache cool slightly until it thickens enough to spread.
  14. Spread the white chocolate topping over the chilled cheesecake. Garnish with fresh raspberries before serving.

Notes

  • For a truly crack-free surface, ensure all dairy ingredients (cream cheese, sour cream, eggs) are at true room temperature before mixing.
  • If you want a Cheesecake Factory copycat look, use a chocolate cookie crust (like Oreos) and reserve some white chocolate shavings and fresh raspberries for the final garnish.
  • If you prefer a firmer, sliceable bar texture, consider baking this recipe in a 9×13 inch pan instead of a springform pan, reducing the bake time slightly.
