👩‍🍳 How to Make White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Raspberry Sauce

    Stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency.
    Once thickened, remove it from the heat and set it aside.
    Let it cool completely before using it in your recipe.

  1. Step 2: Make the Graham Cracker Crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, sugar, and a dash of sea salt.
    Mix until fully combined and the texture resembles wet sand.
    Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a lined 9x13-inch baking pan.
    Ensure the crust is tightly packed for a firm base.
    Bake for 10 minutes and remove from the oven.
    Let it cool completely while you prepare the cheesecake layer.

  1. Step 3: Create the Cheesecake Layer

    In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat softened cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar until smooth.
    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
    Stir in the vanilla extract and melted white chocolate until fully incorporated.
    Mix until the batter is velvety and creamy.

  1. Step 4: Assemble and Bake

    Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
    Drizzle the raspberry sauce over the top of the cheesecake layer.
    Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the sauce for a marbled effect.
    Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
    Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set.
    The center should jiggle slightly when gently shaken.

  1. Step 5: Cool, Chill, and Slice

    Allow the cheesecake bars to cool completely at room temperature.
    Transfer them to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3-4 hours.
    Once fully chilled, use a sharp knife to slice them into even portions.
    Clean the knife between cuts to ensure neat edges.
