White Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake

Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or crushed digestive biscuits)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the White Chocolate Cheesecake Filling

  • 2 cups white chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs

For the Strawberry Topping

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for extra freshness)

Instructions

1) Make the Crust

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool completely.

2) Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  1. Melt the white chocolate
    • Melt using a double boiler (heatproof bowl over simmering water) or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each round.
    • Let it cool slightly so it doesn’t overheat the batter.
  2. Beat the cream cheese
    • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese + sugar until smooth and creamy.
    • Mix in vanilla and the melted white chocolate until well blended.
  3. Add the eggs
    • Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until incorporated (avoid overmixing).
  4. Fill and bake
    • Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
    • Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the edges look set and the center is slightly wobbly.
  5. Cool gently to reduce cracking
    • Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake sit inside for 1 hour.
    • Then remove and cool to room temperature.

3) Cook the Strawberry Topping

  1. In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and glossy.
  3. Stir in lemon juice (optional).
  4. Let the topping cool to room temperature before using.

4) Assemble and Chill

  1. Once the cheesecake is fully cooled, spoon the strawberry topping evenly over the surface.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best for clean slices and maximum flavor).

Serving Ideas

  • Top with fresh strawberries, white chocolate curls, or whipped cream.
  • Serve chilled alongside coffee or tea for a bakery-style finish.

Storage Tips

  • Refrigerator: Keep covered for up to 5 days.
  • Freezer: Freeze individual slices for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
