Ingredients

Crust:

– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Filling:
– 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup sour cream
– ½ cup fresh strawberries, pureed

Topping:
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

– Fresh strawberries, sliced (for garnish)


Instructions

Follow these straightforward steps to create your Decadent White Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your springform pan.
3. Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
4. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
5. Add Flavors: Blend in vanilla extract and melted white chocolate until fully combined.
6. Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
7. Add Sour Cream: Stir in the sour cream, ensuring the mixture is well blended and fluffy.
8. Strawberry Puree: Gently fold in the pureed strawberries, creating a swirl effect.
9. Pour the Filling: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggles.
11. Cool and Chill: Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool for about an hour. Then transfer it to the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
12. Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
13. Top the Cheesecake: Once chilled, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Spread the whipped cream on top.
14. Garnish: Add chocolate shavings and sliced strawberries on top for an attractive finish.
