White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake – What’s Inside
Crust Ingredients:Filling Ingredients:Blueberry Sauce and Topping Ingredients:Cheesecake Baking with White Chocolate & Blueberry Swirl
Step 1: Crush Graham Crackers for Buttery Base
Pulverize graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
Mix the crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan, creating an even, compact layer.
Use the back of a spoon or flat-bottomed measuring cup to ensure a smooth, tight crust.
Step 2: Create Vibrant Blueberry Sauce
Combine fresh blueberries with sugar and a splash of water in a saucepan.
Simmer the mixture over medium heat, gently mashing some berries to release their juices.
Cook until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely.
Step 3: Whip Creamy Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add sugar, mixing until fully incorporated.
Blend in eggs one at a time, then fold in white chocolate that has been melted and slightly cooled.
Gently stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until the filling is silky and uniform.
Step 4: Layer Blueberry and Cheesecake Mixture
Pour half the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust.
Drizzle half the blueberry sauce across the surface, using a knife to create a marbled effect.
Add the remaining cheesecake filling and top with remaining blueberry sauce, swirling gently with a knife.
Step 5: Bake to Creamy Perfection
Place the springform pan in a water bath to ensure even baking.
Bake in a preheated oven until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool slowly to prevent cracking.
Step 6: Chill and Garnish
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, carefully remove the springform pan sides.
Garnish with fresh blueberries, white chocolate shavings, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
