Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form your crust.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
Prepare the filling
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until creamy and smooth. Add the vanilla extract, eggs one at a time, and the pureed strawberries. Blend until fully combined.
- Pour the cooled white chocolate into the cheesecake mixture and blend thoroughly until smooth.
Bake and chill
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for approximately 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool inside for 1 hour.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Serve
- Before serving, top with sliced fresh strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
For budget-friendly options, try using regular chocolate or a combination of fruits. Make sure to chill the cheesecake thoroughly for optimal flavor development. Avoid overmixing during preparation to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
