Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 8 oz white chocolate, melted
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • fresh strawberries, halved
  • white chocolate drizzle (optional)

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • saucepan (for melting chocolate)
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes and cool.
  2. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and eggs one at a time. Mix in melted white chocolate, then sour cream and heavy cream until smooth.
  3. Pour filling over crust. Bake in a water bath for 55–65 minutes until set. Cool in oven 1 hour, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks. Spread over cheesecake and top with strawberries. Drizzle with white chocolate if desired.
  5. Remove cheesecake from springform pan, slice, and serve.

Notes

For best results, use room-temperature cream cheese and eggs to prevent lumps. A water bath helps avoid cracks, but if one appears, cover with whipped cream and strawberries. Chill overnight for the best texture.
