Add the ingredients for the raspberry sauce to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring frequently, until raspberries are dissolved. Strain into a bowl. Allow to cool. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened cream cheese with the sugar, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix on the lowest setting for a couple minutes or until the ingredients are smooth and creamy. Add in the eggs one at a time. Blend the mixture just enough to integrate the eggs. Remove the crust from the freezer and sprinkle 4 ounces of white chocolate chunks onto the bottom of the crust. Pour half of the cream cheese filling into the crust. Drizzle about 1/4 c. the raspberry preserves over the entire surface of the filling. Use a butter knife to swirl the raspberry into the cream cheese. Pour the other half of the filling into the crust. Drizzle another couple of tbsp. of the raspberry sauce over the cake and swirl, refrigerate the rest of the sauce. Carefully place the cheesecake into the water bath in the oven.
