How to Make Decadent White Chocolate Cheesecake
Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes and then remove from the oven to cool.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the melted white chocolate, vanilla extract, and sour cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.

Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking. After cooling, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

When ready to serve, top with whipped cream and sprinkle with white chocolate shavings or curls. Slice and enjoy your delicious White Chocolate Cheesecake!

Tips:

• Make sure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling.
• Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before refrigerating for the best texture.

Substitutions and Variations:

• Use dark chocolate or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
• Add a fruit compote or berry sauce on top for added flavor and color.

Make a Healthier Version:

• Use reduced-fat cream cheese and sour cream for a lighter cheesecake.
• Substitute some sugar with a natural sweetener to reduce calories.
