One of the best things about these mini cheesecakes is that they are incredibly versatile. I’ve easily switched up the flavors by using different types of chocolate or fruit. While the white chocolate and raspberry combination is a classic, I’ve loved using dark chocolate and blueberries for a different twist. The possibilities are endless!

The Impressive Raspberry and White Chocolate Flavor Profile
It’s hard not to love the whole raspberry and white chocolate flavor combination. The sweet, creamy white chocolate does pair perfectly with the tangy and slightly tart flavor of raspberries. Together, they create a balanced and delicious tasting profile that is both sweet and refreshing and one I’ve never stopped enjoying.
Raspberry has always been a well-loved and versatile fruit, used in a variety of treats, from cakes and pies and tarts. The bright red color and tangy flavor of raspberries make them a popular choice for desserts that need help balancing the sweetness. White chocolate is a creamy and sweet and adds a rich, indulgent flavor to any dish, especially these well-suited mini cheesecakes.
One bite and it’s easy to understand why the combination of raspberry and white chocolate are used in so many desserts. Have you ever tried this combo in a truffle or macaron? It’s amazing. This unlikely pair also works well together in no-bake desserts, think cheesecake bars. I believe it’s the combination of tangy fruit and sweet chocolate that really makes this creamy dessert a perfectly, sophisticated treat that will impress most palettes.

Mini White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecakes
Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust:
- 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tbsp. granulated sugar
- 4 tbsps. butter, melted
Raspberry Swirl:
- 1-1/2 cups frozen raspberries, unsweetened
- 3 tbsp. granulated sugar
Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz. cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (full fat will taste best)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Topping:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3 tbsps. confectioners' sugar
- fresh raspberries
- more white chocolate chips for melting & drizzling
Instructions
Graham Cracker Crust:
- Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 12-count muffin tin with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and butter. Mix until a crumbly mixture forms. Evenly distribute the mixture into each cupcake liner and press firmly into an even layer (use the back of a spoon). Bake for 5 minutes. Allow to cool while making the filling. (Leave the oven on.)
Raspberry Swirl:
- In a medium saucepan combine frozen raspberries and granulated sugar. Let the berries simmer for about 5 minutes, until they fall apart and a syrup forms. Remove from heat and strain the berries to remove the seeds. Allow the syrup to chill in the refrigerator while making the cheesecake filling. (You do not want the raspberries to be so hot that they cook the egg in the next step or make the cream cheese to hard so it doesn't blend seamlessly with the other ingredients.)
Cheesecake:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla, and melted white chocolate (melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments until smooth). Mix until completely combined. Add eggs and mix until combined.
- Evenly distribute cheesecake filling into the cupcake liners, alternating between the raspberry syrup and the cheesecake mixture. Swirl with a sharp knife or toothpick. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are still slightly jiggly and not cracked.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool at room temperature. Move to the fridge and let chill for at least 2 hours.
Topping:
- In a large mixing bowl, mix heavy whipping cream and confectioners' sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag and pipe whipped cream onto each cheesecake. If desired, drizzle each cheesecake with more white chocolate and top with a fresh raspberry.
