Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Raspberry Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine raspberry preserves with water and heat over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil and stir in cornstarch slurry until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and strain sauce through a fine mesh sieve to eliminate seeds. Allow to cool completely.
  2. Make the Crust: In a food processor, crush chocolate sandwich cookies until fine crumbs form, then mix with melted unsalted butter. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a parchment-lined baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  3. Prepare Cheesecake Filling: Heat heavy cream over low heat until warm, pour over white chocolate chips, whisk until smooth. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy; gradually mix in chocolate mixture and Greek yogurt. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  4. Assemble Bars: Pour half of cheesecake filling onto cooled crust. Drizzle cooled raspberry sauce over, lightly swirl it, then spread remaining filling on top and drizzle remaining sauce, swirling once more.
  5. Bake: Place the cheesecake bars in the preheated oven and bake for 45-48 minutes. The edges should be set while the center jiggles slightly. Let cool on counter.
  6. Cool and Refrigerate: Allow bars to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or ideally overnight to set completely.
