Indulge in the decadent flavors of White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars, a perfect blend of creamy white chocolate, tangy raspberry swirls, and a buttery shortbread crust. These irresistible dessert bars are perfect for gatherings or as a sweet make-ahead treat.

 


Ingredients

For the Raspberry Swirl:

  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Crust:

  • 1½ cups shortbread cookie crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 6 oz white chocolate, melted and cooled
  • ⅓ cup sour cream, room temperature

Instructions

  • Prepare the Raspberry Swirl:
    • Combine raspberries and sugar in a saucepan.
    • Simmer until syrupy (4–5 minutes) and strain to remove seeds. Cool completely.
  • Make the Crust:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
    • Mix cookie crumbs with butter and press into the pan.
    • Bake for 8 minutes. Cool slightly.
  • Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
    • Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, then mix in eggs one at a time.
    • Add vanilla, salt, melted white chocolate, and sour cream. Mix until smooth.
  • Assemble and Bake:
    • Pour half the filling over the crust. Drizzle half the raspberry sauce and swirl.
    • Add remaining batter, top with remaining raspberry sauce, and swirl again.
    • Bake for 30–35 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
  • Chill and Serve:
    • Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
    • Cut into 16 squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature ingredients for a smooth batter.
  • For neat slices, wipe the knife clean between cuts.
  • Experiment with different fruit swirls like blueberries or strawberries.
