Description
This EASY No-Bake Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake has a buttery graham cracker crust and layers of no-bake cheesecake and a fresh raspberry purée.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 2 ¼ cups (202g) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
- 6 ounces (170g) white chocolate bar, roughly chopped
- 3 ounces (85g) raspberries, puréed
- 1 cup + 3 tablespoons (281ml) heavy whipping cream, divided
- 1/4 cup (32g) powdered sugar
- 16 ounces (452) full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
- ½ cup (95g) granulated sugar
- zest 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
For the Topping:
- ¾ cup (177ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons (16g) powdered sugar
- Raspberries for garnish
Instructions
For the Crust:
- Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lightly greasing the edges of the pan with cooking spray, and then wiping gently with a paper towel.
- Grind the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or blender. Pour the melted butter over the graham crackers and stir until the crumbs are well coated.
- Pour the crumbs into your springform pan and press firmly into the bottom and up on the sides to create a thick crust. Refrigerate the crust while you are preparing the filling.
For the Filling:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate together with 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream. Microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds. Gently stir and return the microwave for another 30 seconds (50% power). At this point, the chocolate should be melted. Stir until it’s completely smooth. Set aside to cool.
- Pureé the raspberries in a blender or food processor. If desired, you can strain the berries through a mess sieve to remove the seeds.
- Prepare the whipped cream. Place a metal mixing bowl in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl and use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until it reaches soft peaks. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set the whipped cream aside.
- Beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed until it’s completely smooth and free of lumps, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add the granulated sugar and continue beating until it’s well incorporated.
- Next, add the melted white chocolate and beat into the cream cheese until it’s well combined.
- Finally, add the lemon zest and the prepared whipped cream and fold into the cream cheese, mixing from the bottom to the top until it’s completely smooth. Set aside.
To Assemble:
- Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared crust and spread evenly. Then spoon about 1/3 of the raspberry purée over the cream cheese and use a knife to swirl it into the batter. Repeat this two more times.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the cheesecake to set. Add the toppings before serving.
For the Topping:
- Prepare a second batch of whipped cream following the same method as described above. Pipe the whipped cream borders using a large open star tip. Garnish with leftover raspberries.
Notes
- Store the finished cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
- To decorate the cheesecake you may want an additional 6oz container of berries.
