Contest-Winning White Chocolate Cheesecake with Strawberry Sauce- ## Easy White Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

This is so much more than cheesecake topped with white chocolate.

It’s extra special because there’s white chocolate right in the filling, making it extra sweet and absolutely delicious.

Don’t worry if you’re not a fan of overly sweet desserts, though. There’s cinnamon in the crust and strawberry sauce on top.

Add it all up, and you’ve got the perfect bite!

Ingredients – ## Easy White Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

Here’s what you’ll need for this rich and creamy white chocolate cheesecake.

For the Crust: – white chocolate cheesecake Worldramens

• Cinnamon Graham Crackers – use regular if you like, or any other biscuit or cookie. But I think the warmth from the cinnamon is too good to miss.

• Sugar – for added sweetness.

• Butter – to hold the crust together.

For the Filling: – white chocolate cheesecake Worldramens

• Cream Cheese – full-fat cream cheese makes this super thick, dense, and rich. Don’t use light or cream cheese spread.

• White Chocolate – it’s the key ingredient, so be sure to use good-quality white chocolate, like Callebaut or Ghirardelli. Cheap white chocolate doesn’t melt well (or taste as creamy).

• Sugar – for sweetness.

• All-purpose Flour – to help the cheesecake set.

• Eggs – to bind the ingredients together. You’ll add 2 extra yolks, too, for extra richness.

For the Strawberry Sauce: – white chocolate cheesecake Worldramens

• Strawberries – it’s a strawberry sauce, after all. Though you could swap them out for raspberries, peaches, blueberries, etc.

• Sugar – to enhance the fruity flavor.

• Water – just a little to help the fruit and sugar meld. If you use frozen fruits, leave the water out, as you’ll get extra moisture when the fruit thaws.

• Cornstarch – to thicken the mixture into a glossy sauce.

How to Make White Chocolate Cheesecake- ## Easy White Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

As mentioned, this recipe has a few steps. But if you’ve ever made a cheesecake before, it’ll be a breeze.

If not, don’t worry – it’s super simple.

1. Preheat the oven and prep the baking pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C) and grease the bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan with non-stick spray or butter.

2. Make the crust. Crush the Graham Crackers, then mix them with the sugar and melted butter using a fork. It should look like wet sand when you’re done. Press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan.

3. Make the cheesecake filling. Beat the cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer, then add the flour and vanilla. Beat until smooth, then add the eggs, yolks, and melted white chocolate.

4. Pour the filling and bake the cake. Slowly pour the filling over the crust and gently tap the pan on the counter to pop any air bubbles. Put the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes.

5. Let the cheesecake cool completely. After 50 minutes, turn the oven off, open the door a crack (just a few inches), and leave the cheesecake inside to cool for 30-60 minutes. Then, take it out and leave it to cool fully on a wire rack. When it’s cold, wrap the top and pop it in the fridge for at least 6-8 hours or overnight.

6. Make the strawberry topping. Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped strawberries, and bring the mixture to a boil. Keep stirring until a thick sauce is formed.

7. Garnish and enjoy. When ready to serve, spread the cooled strawberry sauce over the cake and finish it off with a drizzle of melted white chocolate.

Tips for the Best White Chocolate Cheesecake- ## Easy White Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

• Use room-temperature ingredients. Soft cream cheese = smooth cheesecake filling. And room temperature eggs are much easier to incorporate with the other ingredients.

• Melt the chocolate properly. The easiest way is in the microwave, but be careful! White chocolate is prone to seizing/burning (especially if it’s cheap).
  • Place the white chocolate chunks into a microwave-safe bowl.
  • Microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals.
  • Stir the chocolate, scraping the sides, and go for another 30 seconds as needed.

• Add a baking pan with water to the oven. Most baked cheesecakes call for a water bath (placing the springform pan into a bigger pan with water). This ensures slow, even baking, which keeps the top from cracking. This method is a little easier but should still insulate the top and prevent cracking.

How to Keep Your Cheesecake from Cracking- ## Easy White Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

Cracked cheesecakes taste just as yummy as uncracked cheesecakes. So don’t stress if you see a line on the top.

Of course, this one is covered in strawberry sauce, so you won’t even see it!

And you can always add other toppings, such as whipped cream, ganache, or caramel, to hide imperfections.

But if you want to avoid cracks altogether, follow these steps:

1. Don’t Overbake the Cheesecake – white chocolate cheesecake Worldramens

The number one culprit of a cracked cheesecake is overbaking. So be sure to take note of the baking time and don’t let it go over.

It will look jiggly in the middle, and that’s okay! It’ll keep cooking after the oven is off and firm up fully in the fridge.

2. Use a Water Bath – white chocolate cheesecake Worldramens

As mentioned, many baked cheesecake recipes call for a water bath to regulate the heat and bake the cheesecake evenly.

And it’s as easy as placing the springform pan into a larger pan with a few inches of water.

Be sure to wrap the cheesecake pan with foil to keep the water from seeping in, and you’re all set.

3. Don’t Overmix the Filling – white chocolate cheesecake Worldramens

Beat the cream cheese with the sugar to remove any lumps, but don’t go for too long.

And when adding the eggs, only beat on low until it looks smooth.

Otherwise, you’ll incorporate too much air. This can cause the cheesecake to balloon up in the oven and deflate when cooling.

4. Pour the Filling Slowly – white chocolate cheesecake Worldramens

Sometimes, large air bubbles form as you beat the ingredients. These bubbles then move up the surface and burst, causing cracks.

The solution? Burst the bubbles before baking.

To do this, pour the filling slowly over the crust. Then, bang the pan against the counter once or twice.

If you still see bubbles on the surface, pop them with the tip of a knife. 

5. Allow the Cake to Cool Slowly  – white chocolate cheesecake Worldramens

If you take a hot cheesecake straight out of the oven, it’ll look very jiggly and underbaked.

And if you put it right in the fridge, the surface will contract and crack.

So, leave the cheesecake in the turned-off oven for about an hour with the door open slightly.

Then, place it on a wire rack to cool completely – about 1-2 hours. Transfer the cheesecake to the fridge once it’s completely cooled.

How to Store- ## Easy White Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

To Store: Pop it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Or freeze it for up to a month!

To Freeze: The best way to freeze cheesecake is without the sauce.

I like to freeze individual slices (double-wrapped in plastic), so I can grab just one when I’m craving something sweet.

But you can freeze the whole cake too! Double wrap it in plastic, then add a layer of foil, too.

Wrap with plastic and foil to prevent freezer burn and it’ll keep well for up to 3 months.
