    Cheesecake slices, such as this similar strawberry version, have a special place in my heart, because they require minimal effort but always impress!

    Whether it's baked, such as my classic baked lemon cheesecake or my New York cheesecake, or whether it's no-bake such as my raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake or Caramilk cheesecake that catchs your eye, this white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake slice is another cheesecake recipe that is just perfect for holidays, special occasions, birthdays, summer BBQ dinners, and more!

    But you don’t need a special reason to make it, it really is the perfect dessert for any time!

    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    • Easier to make than a full cheesecake – pop into a slice tin - there's less baking and resting time required compared to a full cheesecake.
    • Easier to serve - this slice can be cut into individual, portable 'hand-held' serves.
    • Super creamy – the most creamy, silky smooth, white chocolate cheesecake filling.
    • Simple pantry ingredients – simple ingredients combine to make an incredible showstopping dessert.
    • Quick and easy – 15 minutes prep time is all you need! Waiting for it to chill is the hardest part!
    • Perfect for making in advance – you can make this white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake slice ahead of time and keep it chilled, all ready to serve.
    • Both conventional and Thermomix methods - you will find both the conventional and Thermomix methods in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

    What You Need

    No fancy ingredients needed here, just some simple pantry and fridge staples.

    Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    All ingredients for white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake slice laid out on a bench top.
    • Chocolate Ripple cookies - crushed cookies form the crunchy chocolate base. I use Arnott’s Chocolate Ripple biscuits, but any plain, sweet chocolate biscuit will work. You could also substitute with Oreos.
    • Butter – holds the crushed biscuits together and helps to set the base. It also gives a lovely, rich flavour to the cheesecake. I recommend using real, salted or unsalted butter, rather than margarine or butter substitutes.
    • Cream cheese – softened to room temperature. I recommend regular, full fat cream cheese for the best flavour and texture. I use the Philadephia brand, but you can use any type of block cream cheese.
    • Sour cream – adds a lovely tanginess and creamy richness to the cheesecake filling. While I recommend full-fat sour cream, light sour cream can also be used.
    • Caster sugar - also known as superfine sugar, caster sugar dissolves easily when mixing with other ingredients.
    • Eggs – help the cheesecake filling to set and add to the lovely rich flavour. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for a better result.
    • Vanilla extract - or vanilla paste or essence.
    • Raspberries – you can use fresh or frozen raspberries, depending on what you have available. Make sure you keep extra for decorating though!
    • White chocolate – be sure to use a good quality brand that you know and love for the best results! I use Cadbury or Nestle, but any good quality white chocolate will work.
    • Raspberry coulis - this ingredient is optional, but highly recommended! You can use any type of store-bought raspberry coulis, or homemade if you prefer. Swirl a little over the top of the cheesecake (dot some over the top and use a knife to swirl it) before baking and then add a little more to serve with some fresh berries. LOOKS AMAZING!

    Step By Step Instructions

    I LOVE how easy it is to make this slice. Just a few simple steps and about 15 minutes prep time is all you need!

    Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    Step 1 - The Biscuit Base

    Start by mixing the crushed biscuits and melted butter together in a bowl until combined.

    Step 2 - The Cheesecake Filling

    Beat the softened cream cheese, eggs, sour cream, caster sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.

    Add the melted white chocolate, and beat until smooth and combined.

    Step 3 - Fold In The Raspberries

    Fold the raspberries gently through with a spatula.

    Mix lightly until just combined to avoid breaking up the berries.

    Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and spread out evenly with a spoon.

    Step 4 - Bake

    Bake for 40-50 minutes, see full baking instructions in the Expert Tips and Recipe Card below.

    The slice is ready when it looks nearly set and only a small area in the centre jiggles when gently shaken. The centre will firm up as it cools.

    Set in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).

    To serve, sprinkle with some extra raspberries and a drizzle of raspberry coulis. While the raspberry coulis is optional, it is highly recommended!

    Expert Tips & FAQs

    Follow these helpful tips to ensure the very BEST white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake slice, every time!

    Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature.

    The cream cheese should be softened to room temperature so that it blends easily into a soft, creamy and smooth consistency, otherwise it may make the cheesecake mixture lumpy.

    Traditional cheesecake or cheescake slice?

    If you prefer, you can follow the same recipe but press into a round springform tin instead. However I find the benefit of a cheesecake slice is that it’s easy to cut into pieces, perfect for taking to a special morning or afternoon tea, or serving as a dessert to a number of guests.

    How do I stop my cheesecake from cracking?

    1. Firstly, don’t overbeat your mixture, as this will cause the filling to crack when cooked.
    2. You can also place a small, oven-safe baking dish filled with water at the bottom of the oven - this will keep the cheesecake moist when baking.
    3. Baking the cheesecake at a relatively low temperature also helps the cheesecake to cook slowly and prevents the filling from over-baking (which can also cause cracks).
    4. After the slice has finished cooking, you can leave the oven door open for an hour to allow the cheesecake to slowly cool.
    5. Avoiding a sudden change in temperature will help to minimise any cracking or sinking.

    Chill the cheesecake then serve

    You will need to chill the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake slice for at least 4 hours (or preferably overnight) for it to fully set before slicing and serving. Then, you can serve it as is, or decorate it with white chocolate shavings, extra berries, and some raspberry coulis.

    How long does this white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake last?

    This cheesecake keeps well in the fridge in an airtight container or covered with clingwrap for up to 5 days. But, let’s be honest, it is so creamy and delicious that it never lasts that long!

      If I want to make a round one instead what size pan and would there be any other changes?

        Hi Shyla, as long as it holds approximately the same amount of mixture, it should be fine. You might also like to use a round springform tin which will make it easier to remove (round is a bit tricker with this slice!).

      This is delicious, but its too soft to handle, which is necessary for a slice. How can I make it set a bit harder? An extra egg, for example? More chocolate?

        Hi Robyn, I would simply try cooking it for a little longer. All ovens are so different so this cheesecake might need a little longer in yours! xx

          It was browning too much on top to go any longer, so thats not a option. Next time I will try a different oven setting. It was really delicious though.

            Hi Robyn, yes definitely reduce the temp but also pop a sheet of foil over the top as this will stop the browning. xx
