Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup melted butter
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

For the filling:

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted and cooled
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

For the topping:

  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • ¼ cup white chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 325°F (165°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cheesecake.
  2. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust.
  3. Make the filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a separate large bowl until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the melted white chocolate, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Add the eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the cream cheese mixture, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth texture.
  5. Fold in strawberries: Gently fold diced fresh strawberries into the filling, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
  6. Assemble and bake: Pour the filling evenly over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 45 to 50 minutes until the center is mostly set but still slightly jiggly.
  7. Cool the cheesecake: Turn off the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool gradually inside with the oven door slightly ajar for about an hour to prevent cracking.
  8. Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely and develop the flavors.
  9. Add topping and serve: Before serving, drizzle melted white chocolate over the top and decorate with sliced fresh strawberries. Slice and enjoy your decadent white chocolate strawberry cheesecake!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the batter.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cheesecake to keep it creamy and smooth.
  • Fresh strawberries add brightness; frozen strawberries can be used but may add extra moisture.
  • Use a water bath if possible to minimize cracking during baking.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill thoroughly for best slicing results.
