Raspberry Swirl White Chocolate Cheesecake

I have been making this recipe for Raspberry Swirl White Chocolate Cheesecake for a few years now. I found this recipe in one of my many Taste of Home Annual recipe books and been making it ever since and often! In fact, this is one of the few  cheesecake recipes that I make over and over again. With good reason, it turns out every single time and it’s delicious. This recipe calls for using 1/4 cup of your favorite jam or preserves. I used black raspberry today but I’ve used red raspberry, blueberry preserves and even lemon curd.

Cheesecake Savory or Sweet 

Though a cheesecake can be savory and served with crackers as an appetizer, most of us think of the term as describing a luscious, rich dessert. The texture of cheesecake can vary greatly, from light and airy to dense and rich to smooth and creamy. All cheesecakes begin with cheese. Usually cream cheese, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese or sometimes Swiss or cheddar cheese. Cheesecakes may or may not have a crust, which can be a light dusting of breadcrumbs, a cookie crust or a pasty crust. The filling is made by creaming the cheese and mixing it with eggs, sugar and other flavorings. This recipe for raspberry swirl white chocolate cheesecake.

 

Springform Pan

The mixture is then poured into a special springform pan and baked. After baking, the cheesecake is thoroughly chilled and generously topped with sour cream, whipped cream, fruit, chocolate or nuts. Springform pans have a latch on the side of the pan and a removable bottom that makes it easy to ‘release’ the cheesecake from the pan, which makes serving cheesecake easier. Springform pans are also deep and rather wide, allowing for enough room for all of the tasty cheese filling.
