Just look at both pictures, they are one in the same recipe.
The Cheesecake Factory makes cheesecakes for many restaurants including Olive Garden.
I have a request for Olive Gardens White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake. My suggestion was to use the recipe posted for The Cheesecake Factory's version. This should be the closest version to the Olive Garden Cheesecake. Just for the skeptics I will post the recipe that has been circulating on-line for years, as Olive Gardens version.

Olive Garden White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
.
1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
3 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 (10 ounce) package
frozen raspberries
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
2 cups white chocolate chips
1/2 cup half-and-half cream
3 (8 ounce) packages creamcheese
1/2 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, mix cookie crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar and melted butter until well blended.
Press mixture onto the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
To make raspberry sauce: In a medium sauce pan, combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch and water. Bring to boil.
Continue boiling until sauce is thick and clear. Strain sauce through a mesh strainer to remove seeds. Set aside.
In the top of a double boiler, heat white chocolate chips and half-and-half, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and allow to cool to luke warm.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
Blend in vanilla and melted white chocolate chips. Pour half of batter over crust.
Spoon 3 tablespoons of raspberry sauce over batter. Pour remaining batter into pan. Spoon another 3 tablespoons of raspberry sauce over the top of the batter. Swirl batter with the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until filling is set.
Allow to cool, cover with plastic, and refrigerate for 8 hours before removing from pan.
Serve with remaining raspberry sauce.
