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!
