- 2 cups (340 grams) white chocolate chips
- 3 large eggs
- 10 ounces (280 grams) frozen raspberries
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 grams) chocolate cookie crumbs
- ¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons (37 grams) granulated sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) half-and-half cream

- ½ cup (120 milliliters) water
- 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons (5 grams) cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pulse chocolate cookies in a food processor until finely ground, creating a uniform sandy texture for the crust base.
- Drizzle melted butter over the cookie crumbs, incorporating thoroughly to ensure complete moisture and binding of the mixture.
- Transfer the crumb mixture into a springform pan, using the back of a measuring cup or flat spatula to compress and create an even, compact layer that covers the entire bottom surface.
- Gently tap the pan to settle the crust and eliminate any potential air pockets, creating a solid foundation for the cheesecake.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality white chocolate to ensure a rich, creamy flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
- Crush cookies finely to create a smooth, compact crust that holds together perfectly when sliced.
- Consider using a food processor for the most consistent cookie crumb texture, which prevents any lumpy or uneven base.
- Gently press the crust mixture with the back of a spoon or flat-bottomed measuring cup to create an even, compact layer that won’t crumble when serving.
