Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp melted butter

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 6 oz white chocolate, melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries

For the Strawberry Swirl & Topping:

  • 1/4 cup strawberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • Fresh strawberries, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

  2. Melt the White Chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, melt the white chocolate, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Stir in vanilla extract, heavy cream, and melted white chocolate.

  4. Fold in Strawberries: Gently mix in the chopped fresh strawberries to distribute them evenly.

  5. Layer and Swirl: Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the crust. Drizzle strawberry sauce over it, then pour the remaining batter on top. Use a toothpick or knife to create a swirl effect.

  6. Bake the Cheesecake: Place the pan in a water bath and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let it cool inside with the door slightly open.

  7. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberries and extra strawberry sauce. Slice and enjoy!
