No Bake White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Recipe
This White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake is an easy no bake cheesecake recipe for summer! It is SO smooth and creamy and you don’t ever have to turn on the oven. It’s the perfect no bake dessert for showing off summer berries — strawberries or blueberries work just as well!
How to Make this White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake recipe:
- Choose good quality chocolate — because you will taste it! White chocolate chips are fine, or any white chocolate baking bar.
- You can use homemade or store-bought raspberry sauce or jam to make your swirls — feel free to take a shortcut if you need it, because no one will ever know!
- Light or regular cream cheese both work perfectly for this recipe. My default is always to buy light cream cheese, so that is what I used in this recipe.
- Give yourself enough time. Cheesecakes take a long time to set up and chill completely, and you don’t want to serve before it’s ready! Make sure you have at least 6-8 hours for the cheesecake to chill before serving, or make it a day in advance.

Ingredients
Raspberry Sauce
2 1/2 cups frozen raspberries thawed
1/2 cup sugar 100g
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon corn starch
Graham Cracker Crust
2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs or chocolate baking crumbs
1/2 cup butter melted
FIlling
1 cup white chocolate chips 170g
1 cup heavy cream 35%, divided
24 oz light cream cheese 3 packages
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
Instructions
Raspberry Sauce
- In a small pot, add the raspberries and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes. Mash with a spatula.
- Combine water and corn starch and stir into sauce to thicken. Set aside to cool completely (you can speed this up by pouring into a new bowl and placing in the fridge).
- Crust
- OPTIONAL: Clamp a piece of parchment paper in between the bottom and the outer ring of a 9" Springform pan. This helps with easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press into the bottom and 1" up the sides of a 9-10" springform pan. Set aside.
Filling
- In a medium bowl, stir together white chocolate and 1/2 cup cream. Microwave on high for 40 seconds, then stir until completely smooth (heat another 15 seconds if necessary). Place in the fridge to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, and remaining 1/2 cup cream and beat on high until light and fluffy.
- Add melted white chocolate and beat on medium speed until incorporated.
- Place fresh raspberries into the bottom of the crust and pour the cheesecake filling over top, smoothing with a spatula.
- Drop teaspoonfuls of raspberry sauce on the top, and gently swirl. Save remaining sauce for serving.
- Chill at least 5 hours or overnight before serving. Serve with remaining raspberry sauce and fresh raspberries as desired.
Notes
I use frozen raspberries for this recipe, but fresh will work just as well!
