Add the frozen raspberries to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring and mashing occasionally, until the raspberries begin to break down and are liquidy.

Pass the raspberries through a sieve to remove the seeds. You should have just under 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) of liquid.

Return the raspberry liquid to the saucepan, off the heat, and whisk in the cornstarch and sugar.

Heat the mixture over medium heat for about 20 minutes until the jam is thick. It should measure out to ¾ cup (180 ml).

Transfer the jam to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge while working on the rest of the cheesecake.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground.

Add in the melted butter and sugar and pulse until combined.

Prepare your 9 inch springform pan for its later water bath by wrapping the bottom and sides of it with a decent amount of tinfoil.

When your pan is prepared, press the graham cracker crumbs onto the bottom and about an inch up the sides.

Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the cream cheese, sugar and cornstarch together with a paddle attachment for two minutes on medium speed until everything is smooth.

Add in the vanilla bean paste, sour cream and melted and cooled white chocolate and mix for 1 minute on medium speed.

At this point, stop and put a pot of water on the stove to start boiling.

Next add in the eggs and egg yolks one at a time to the cheesecake batter. Mix on low speed.

Pour ½ of the cheesecake batter into the prepared pan with the crust. Spoon ½ of the raspberry jam over the batter.

Place the cheesecake in a large roasting pan in the oven. Slowly pour the hot water in to the pan around the cheesecake.

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 65-75 minutes, just until the center has a slight jiggle.

Remove from the oven and go around the edges of the pan with a butter knife to loosen the crust from the sides of the pan.

Let the cheesecake cool completely on the counter, and then refrigerate until completely cold, 8 hours or overnight.

Add the freeze dried raspberries to a plastic bag. Crush them with a rolling pin until they are very finely ground.

Add the chopped white chocolate and heavy cream to a double boiler. Heat over medium heat until melted together.

Remove from the heat and mix in the ground freeze dried raspberries.

Add the heavy cream and powdered sugar to a bowl. Mix on high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.

Pour the raspberry ganache on top of the cheesecake.

Once the ganache is set, remove the cheesecake from the fridge and pipe whipped cream around the edges of the cheesecake.

Top with raspberries, serve and enjoy! Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
