Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.33 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 3 eggs
• 8 ounces white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.5 cups sour cream
• 0.5 cups heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Wrap the outside of the pan with aluminum foil to create a waterproof barrier.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 3

Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Pour in the melted white chocolate and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Fold in the sour cream and heavy cream by hand until the batter is smooth and even.

Step 7

Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the springform pan to create a water bath.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

Step 10

Turn off the oven, crack the oven door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.

Step 11

Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Step 12

Run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan before releasing the springform. Slice and serve chilled. Garnish with white chocolate shavings or whipped cream, if desired.
