1. Make the crust by adding the Oreos to a food processor and process until they are crumbs, then pulse in the butter.
2. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray, then press the crust into the pan to fill the bottom and about an inch up the side. Set aside in the fridge while you make the rest of the cheesecake.
3. Make the swirl. Combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan on medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the raspberries break down into a sauce; push through a fine mesh strainer, then set aside to cool.
4. Preheat the oven to 350℉.
5. Make the filling by melting the white chocolate chips and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until the chocolate is melted.
6. Then, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until fluffy with an electric hand mixer.
7. Add in the sour cream, vanilla, and eggs, one at a time, while beating the mixture until smooth.
8. Stir in the melted white chocolate mixture.
9. Now assemble the cheesecake by adding half of the filling to the crust in your springform pan, then about half of the swirl mixture and swirling it in gently with a sharp knife.
10. Pour the rest of the filling on top and then the rest of the swirled mixture, swirling gently with a knife again.
11. Bake for about 60 minutes or until only slightly jiggly in the middle.
12. Let cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then chill in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours or until cold to the touch.
13. Add garnishes if desired and serve.

DO I HAVE TO STRAIN THE RASPBERRIES?

Straining the raspberry mixture is recommended because raspberries have a lot of seeds that can affect the texture of your cheesecake.

By straining, you get a smooth raspberry sauce that’s perfect for the swirl.

However, if you don’t mind the seeds, you can skip this step—but consider using less of the mixture to avoid overpowering the cheesecake.

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN THE CHEESECAKE IS DONE?

You’ll know the cheesecake is done baking when the outer edges are set and the center jiggles slightly when you gently shake the pan.

The top of the cheesecake may have a slight golden color.

This slight jiggle gets you a creamy texture once it’s cooled.

Don’t overbake it! You’ll get cracks and a dry texture that way.
