In saucepan, combine raspberries, 2tbsp. sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to boil and continue boiling 5 minutes, or until sauce is thick. Strain through mesh strainer to remove seeds. Preheat oven to 325º. In a metal bowl, over a pan of simmering water, melt white chocolate chips with half-and-half, stirring occasionally until smooth. In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and 1/2C. sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. blend in vanilla and melted white chocolate. Pour half of batter over crust. Spoon 3tbsp. raspberry sauce over batter. Pour remaining cheesecake batter into pan and again spoon 3tbsp. raspberry sauce over the top.
