Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well blended. Press firmly into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes and let cool.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes, then strain and cool.
  4. Melt the white chocolate until smooth, about 1-2 minutes in the microwave. Let cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then fold in melted white chocolate, vanilla, sour cream, and heavy cream.
  6. Layer half of the cheesecake batter over the crust, drizzle with half of the raspberry sauce, and swirl. Add remaining batter and sauce, swirling again.
  7. Prepare a water bath and bake the cheesecake for 60-70 minutes until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
  8. Cool the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Serve topped with extra raspberry sauce or fresh berries.
