Ingredients
- 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 85 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams granulated sugar (for crust)
- 900 grams cream cheese
- 200 grams granulated sugar (for filling)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 200 grams white chocolate
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 400 grams strawberries
- 50 grams granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the base with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 50 grams of sugar until fully combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 200 grams of sugar together until smooth and creamy using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 4
Add in the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating after each addition just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Melt the white chocolate gently using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly before folding it into the cream cheese mixture.
Step 6
Add the heavy cream and gently fold it in until fully incorporated.
Step 7
Pour the filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly.
Step 8
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour with the door slightly ajar.
Step 9
After cooling, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 10
To prepare the strawberry topping, combine 300 grams of strawberries, 50 grams of sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the strawberries break down and the mixture becomes syrupy, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 11
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water. Stir this into the strawberry mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 12
Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, arrange the remaining 100 grams of fresh strawberries on top. Pour the cooled strawberry topping over the cheesecake.
Step 13
Carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy!
