Picture this: a velvety-smooth cheesecake infused with the tangy sweetness of fresh raspberries and the rich creaminess of white chocolate. It’s a flavor explosion that delights your taste buds and nourishes your body from the inside out.
Let’s talk about those vibrant raspberries first. These little red gems are a powerhouse of goodness and are bursting with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. Antioxidants help combat oxidative stress in the body, supporting your immune system and reducing inflammation. Plus, the fiber keeps your digestive system happy and promotes a healthy gut microbiome, which is essential for overall wellness.
And what about white chocolate? While it’s often seen as a guilty pleasure, it has surprising health benefits. Rich in cocoa butter, white chocolate contains healthy fats that can improve cholesterol levels and support heart health when consumed in moderation. Not to mention, it adds a luxurious creaminess to our cheesecake that’s simply irresistible.
But it’s not just about the ingredients—it’s about the experience. Treating yourself to a slice of our White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake isn’t just indulgence; it’s self-care in dessert form. It’s about taking a moment to savor the sweetness of life and nourish your body and soul simultaneously.

Gluten-Free, Vegan, Serves 12
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 lemon zested
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
For the raspberry chia jam:
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
For the cheesecake filling:
- 2 cups raw cashews soaked in water overnight
- 1 cup coconut cream chilled overnight
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
- 1/2 cup dairy-free white chocolate chips
- Fresh raspberries for garnish
Directions:
Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Prepare the raspberry chia jam by combining the fresh raspberries and maple syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the raspberries break down and become syrupy, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes. Mash the raspberries with a fork or potato masher. Add chia seeds and continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool. Combine the gluten-free graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, zest, lemon juice, and maple syrup in a bowl. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan evenly to form the crust. Place it in the refrigerator while preparing the filling. Combine the soaked cashews, chilled coconut cream, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the dairy-free white chocolate chips until smooth. Pour the raspberry chia jam over the chilled crust and spread it evenly to form a layer.
Divide the cashew mixture into two equal parts. Add the melted white chocolate to one part and blend again until well combined. Pour the white chocolate cheesecake mixture onto the raspberry chia layer in the pan and spread it evenly. Add the frozen raspberries to the remaining plain cashew mixture in the blender. Blend until the raspberries are fully incorporated and the mixture turns pink. Pour the raspberry cashew mixture over the white chocolate layer in the pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Tap the pan gently on the countertop to remove any air bubbles. Swirl a knife through the layers for a marbled effect. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer to set for at least 4-6 hours or until firm. Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. Garnish with fresh raspberries if desired.
