Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake Cocktail: Dessert in a Glass

It’s just what it sounds like: the Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake Cocktail is one delicious, ice creamy treat! It tastes just like the dessert it was probably named for.

Dessert cocktails give you a boozy way to indulge in sweet and creamy flavors. This drink is a prime example, combining the rich, velvety taste of cheesecake with the fruity notes of fresh raspberries and the smooth creaminess of white chocolate.

This unique and indulgent cocktail is the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth while sipping on a sophisticated and grown-up treat.

Flavor Profile

The origins of this drink is unknown, but the flavor makes it hard to imagine it wasn’t based on the Cheesecake Factory’s White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake. Like the cake, this cocktail combines the flavors of raspberry, chocolate, vanilla and cream cheese (yes, it uses actual cream cheese) to create a drink that really tastes like a slice of that cheesecake.

Variations

You can change this recipe up if you like. It doesn’t contain any hard liquors, so if you want to make it stronger, you can add  an ounce of vodka. Or rum.

If you don’t eat dairy, you can certainly use non-dairy alternatives to the ice cream and cream cheese. If you can’t find a non-dairy cream cheese, just leave it out and add a half-scoop more ice cream. It will lose the cheese flavor, but still be delicious.

Chambord is fantastic in this recipe, but so is DeKuyper Razzmatazz. Any raspberry liqueur will work.

And feel free to add as many raspberries as you like, and even some blueberries, blackberries, or strawberries. It will obviously change the flavor profile, but it’ll be fantastic.

Big Batch Version

This one is nice to mix up in batches, although it doesn’t do so well when you make it up beforehand and let it sit in the fridge for more than a few hours. You can mix it up as servings of dessert right before dinner and keep it that way.

During a party, you can just multiply the ingredients by how many you want to make. For example, to make 4 servings, you’d use: 4 oz. white creme de cacao, 4 oz. ounce Chambord, 4 tablespoons cream cheese, 8 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 cups crushed ice, and optionally 8 ounces fresh raspberries.
