Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (450 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted and cooled
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
Crust Components:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Finishing and Decoration:
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Craft a buttery foundation by pulverizing graham crackers and blending with melted butter and sugar, then firmly pressing the mixture into a springform pan’s base to create a solid, crisp crust.
- Whip cream cheese until luxuriously smooth, then incorporate melted white chocolate, ensuring a velvety consistency without lumps.
- Introduce granulated sugar and vanilla extract, stirring meticulously to distribute flavors evenly throughout the creamy mixture.
- Incorporate eggs individually, gently folding each one to maintain the delicate texture and prevent overmixing.
- Delicately fold diced strawberries into the batter, distributing them evenly to ensure every slice contains fruity bursts.
- Transfer the silky filling atop the prepared crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula for an elegant finish.
- Position the cheesecake in a preheated 325°F oven, baking until the center achieves a subtle wobble while edges remain firm.
- After baking, allow the cheesecake to cool gradually inside the oven with the door slightly ajar, preventing sudden temperature shifts that could cause cracking.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours, permitting it to set completely and develop rich, complex flavors.
- Just before serving, garnish with fresh strawberry slices and drizzle melted white chocolate for a stunning, decadent presentation.
Notes
- Crush graham crackers finely to create a smooth, compact base that holds together perfectly without falling apart.
- Room temperature ingredients ensure a silky-smooth cheesecake texture without lumps or uneven mixing.
- Wrap the springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in during potential water bath baking, protecting the delicate crust.
- Fold strawberries gently to maintain their shape and prevent color bleeding throughout the cheesecake, preserving beautiful white and red swirls.
