Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a homemade pie crust, roll it out into a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges. If using a pre-made crust, place it directly into the pie dish and set aside.
Blind bake the pie crust: Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and pie weights, and let the crust cool completely.
Place the white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate chips and let sit for 2-3 minutes.
Stir the white chocolate and cream mixture until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together with an electric hand mixer until creamy and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and the cooled white chocolate mixture to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined and fluffy.
In a medium bowl, whip the remaining 0.25 cup of heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts, reserving a small handful for topping if desired.
Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved macadamia nuts on top, if using.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm and set. Overnight chilling is ideal for the best texture.
Before serving, garnish the pie with whipped cream and white chocolate shavings, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
