For the Raspberry Sauce:
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen raspberries

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press into a springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
- Make the raspberry sauce: Heat raspberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan until softened. Mix cornstarch with water, add to the sauce, and stir until thickened. Strain and set aside.
- Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals. Let cool slightly.
- Prepare the cheesecake batter: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix. Add eggs one at a time, then fold in melted white chocolate, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour half of the batter over the crust. Drizzle half of the raspberry sauce and swirl gently. Add remaining batter and repeat the swirling process.
- Bake in a water bath for 55–65 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let it rest inside for an hour.
- Cool & chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Serve with extra raspberry sauce, whipped cream, or white chocolate shavings.
