Wrap a large piece of foil around bottom of pan and to keep cheesecake dry when placed in water bath. Put crust in freezer until filling is done.
Using an electric mixer, combine cream cheese with sugar, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix on medium for a few minutes until ingredients are smooth and creamy. Whisk the eggs in in a small bowl and add to cream cheese mixture. Blend just enough to integrate eggs.
Remove crust from freezer and sprinkle 4 oz of white chocolate chunks onto bottom of crust. Pur half of cream cheese filling into crust. Drizzle the raspberry preserves over the entire surface. Using a butter knife, swirl preserves into cream cheese mixture. Pour remaining cream cheese mixture into crust.
Carefully place cheesecake into water bath in oven. Bake for 12 min at 475, then turn down oven to 350 degrees and bake for 50-60 minutes until top of cheesecake turns light borwn.
