Elegant Raspberry White Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
1/2 cup raspberry preserves
1 cup white chocolate chips, melted (for top layer)
Few drops of red food coloring (optional)
Fresh raspberries and white chocolate curls for garnish
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream.
Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Drizzle with half of the melted white chocolate and half of the raspberry preserves. Swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Repeat with the remaining cream cheese mixture, white chocolate, and raspberry preserves. If desired, add a few drops of red food coloring to the raspberry preserves for a more vibrant color.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen. Cool completely before removing the rim of the pan.
Once cooled, pour the remaining 1 cup of melted white chocolate over the top of the cheesecake and spread evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Garnish with fresh raspberries and white chocolate curls.
