These White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars may look fancy but they’re so easy to make! The white chocolate and raspberry flavors paired with a homemade oreo crust make them impossible to resist.
I’m a huge fan of cheesecake. While I typically go for the chocolate flavors I’ll definitely make an exception for these delicious raspberry cheesecake bars. I do have to say it’s that homemade oreo crust that seals the deal for me on this decadent dessert!
My sister in law is the one who introduced me to these cheesecake bars. The first time I tasted them I had to have the recipe and trust me, you better be prepared for requests for the recipe when you make them!

The combination of rich cheesecake, a homemade oreo crust, white chocolate and raspberry flavors are heavenly. These bars are fancy enough to serve for company but easy enough to make for your family any time!

Pour this mixture over the oreo crumb crust. Bake 25-28 minutes or until center is set. Allow the cheesecake to cool for 5 minutes and then spread with raspberry jam.
Melt the remaining white chocolate and drizzle over the the cheesecake then allow to cool completely. Refrigerate before serving. Cut into small slices as this dessert is incredibly rich.
