Ingredients
Crust Ingredients
- 1.5 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup refined sugar
Filling Ingredients
- 450 g cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup melted and cooled white chocolate
- 1/2 cup pure sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Strawberries
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (for topping)
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and refined sugar until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, then let it cool.
- In another bowl, blend the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add in the melted white chocolate, pure sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until evenly combined.
- Gently fold in the egg until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chopped strawberries.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly wobbly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit inside for an hour. Remove and let cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, top with the remaining strawberries and drizzle with melted white chocolate chips.
Notes
Let the cheesecake cool gradually to avoid cracking. Use quality white chocolate for better flavor.
