Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake:

  • 12 oz white chocolate, chopped
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream

For the White Chocolate Ganache:

  • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool.

  • Melt White Chocolate: Melt white chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

  • Make Cheesecake Filling: Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and melted white chocolate.

  • Bake Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and smooth the top. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and bake for 55-60 minutes, until the center is set. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.

  • Chill Cheesecake: Transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  • Make Ganache: Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering. Pour over chopped white chocolate, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly before pouring over the chilled cheesecake.

  • Serve: Garnish with white chocolate curls or berries, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute graham crackers with digestive biscuits, shortbread, or vanilla wafers for the crust.
  • Add berries or a drizzle of dark chocolate for a personalized touch.
  • If you prefer a nuttier topping, crushed macadamia nuts or pistachios work great.
