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
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
Make the Filling:
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the melted white chocolate, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
Bake:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Cool and Chill:
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool gradually inside with the door slightly ajar for about an hour.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to fully set.
Add the Topping:
Before serving, top with sliced fresh strawberries and drizzle with melted white chocolate.
Notes
Letting the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven helps prevent cracking.
