Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the crumbs resemble wet sand.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool.
  5. Melt the chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and mix well.
  7. Add vanilla extract and mix again.
  8. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition.
  9. Mix in sour cream and melted white chocolate until smooth.
  10. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
  11. Wrap the springform pan in aluminum foil and place it in a larger baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the pan.
  12. Bake for 55-65 minutes until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
  13. Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  14. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  15. For the strawberry topping, combine sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl. Toss gently and let sit for 30 minutes.
  16. Once the cheesecake is chilled, remove it from the springform pan and top with the strawberry mixture.
  17. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and mint leaves if desired.
  18. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven helps prevent cracks.
  • This cheesecake can be made a day in advance for optimal flavor and texture.
