  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 8 oz white chocolate melted and slightly cooled
  • For the Strawberry Topping:
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • For Garnish optional:
  • Whipped cream
  • White chocolate shavings
  • Fresh strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Crust:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly moistened.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Bake for 8–10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • Make the Cheesecake Filling:
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract and melted white chocolate until fully incorporated.
  • Bake the Cheesecake:
  • Pour the filling over the prepared crust.
  • Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
  • Prepare the Strawberry Topping:
  • In a saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries release their juices, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the sauce thickens. Let cool completely.
  • Assemble the Cheesecake:
  • Once the cheesecake is completely cooled, spread the strawberry topping evenly over the top.
  • Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Garnish and Serve:
  • Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, white chocolate shavings, and fresh strawberries if desired.
