Ingredients

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

¼ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 oz (225g) white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled

½ cup sour cream

For the Strawberry Swirl:

1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

For Garnish:

Fresh strawberries, halved

Whipped cream

Powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool.
Make the Strawberry Swirl: Blend strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds. Set aside.
Prepare the Filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract and sour cream. Gradually fold in melted white chocolate.
Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour filling over the crust. Drizzle the strawberry puree on top and use a toothpick to create a marbled swirl.
Bake: Place the springform pan in a larger pan and add hot water to create a water bath. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until edges are set but the center slightly jiggles.
Cool and Chill: Let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for an hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
