Start your dessert table with this indulgent white chocolate raspberry cheesecake pie. The buttery shortbread crust holds a luscious filling swirled with tangy raspberry jam. Each slice is pure bliss.

Serving: 8 | Prep Time: 30 minutes | Cooking Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender until coarse crumbs form. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish using a flat-bottomed measuring cup for even thickness. Bake 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on a rack.
Reduce oven to 325°F. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth and lump-free. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in vanilla. Tip: ensure cream cheese is room temperature to avoid lumps.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Fold this mixture into the cream cheese batter until evenly incorporated.
Pour filling into cooled crust. Drop raspberry jam in small spoonfuls over the top. Use a knife to gently swirl the jam into the batter, creating a marbled pattern. Avoid over-swirling; a few figure-eights is enough.
Bake at 325°F for 45–50 minutes. Center should be almost set but still jiggly. Turn off oven, crack door, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour to prevent cracks.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, top with fresh raspberries.

Spread dark chocolate layer evenly into cooled crust. Gently spoon milk chocolate layer over dark, spreading to edges. Top with white chocolate layer, spreading carefully. Smooth top with a spatula.

Make filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly, then beat into cream cheese mixture.
Pour filling into cooled crust. Drop spoonfuls of Nutella over the filling. Use a knife to swirl Nutella into the cheesecake.
Bake 45-50 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Turn off oven, crack door, and let cool inside for 1 hour.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
Slice and serve chilled.
