## **Instructions**

### **1. Prepare the Crust**
1. Preheat the oven to **325°F (165°C)**.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the **graham cracker crumbs**, **sugar**, and **melted butter**. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a **9-inch springform pan**, creating an even layer.
4. Bake for **8-10 minutes**, then remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

### **2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling**
1. In a large bowl, beat the **cream cheese** until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the **melted white chocolate**, **sugar**, and **vanilla extract**, and continue mixing until well combined.
3. Add the **eggs** one at a time, mixing after each addition until smooth.
4. Stir in the **sour cream** and **flour**, and mix until the filling is completely smooth and thick.
5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.

### **3. Prepare the Raspberry Sauce**

2. Stir occasionally and cook for about **5-7 minutes**, or until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
3. Remove from heat and strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Set aside to cool.

### **4. Assemble and Bake the Cheesecake**
1. Drop spoonfuls of the **raspberry sauce** over the cheesecake filling. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the raspberry sauce into the filling for a beautiful marbled effect.

3. Turn off the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about **1 hour**. This helps prevent cracking.
4. After the cheesecake has cooled, refrigerate for at least **4 hours** (or overnight) to allow it to set completely.
