Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup white chocolate, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lightly greasing the sides and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are completely moistened and have a sandy texture.
- Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, creating an even, compact base. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to ensure a smooth surface.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Gradually add sugar to the cream cheese, mixing on medium speed until fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or in short microwave intervals, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Allow to cool slightly.
- Add the melted white chocolate to the cream cheese mixture, blending until completely smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Be careful not to overmix, which can cause the cheesecake to crack.
- Gently fold in half of the fresh blueberries into the cheesecake batter, reserving the rest for topping.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. The center should be slightly jiggly but not liquid.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, garnish the top with remaining fresh blueberries and optionally dust with powdered sugar or white chocolate shavings.
- Carefully remove from springform pan, slice with a clean, warm knife, and serve chilled.
Tips
- • Always use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth, crack-free cheesecake • When melting white chocolate, use low heat and stir constantly to prevent burning • Don't overmix the batter after adding eggs to maintain a silky texture • Use a water bath or place a pan of hot water in the oven to create humidity and prevent cracking • Let the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven with the door slightly open to prevent sudden temperature changes • Use a springform pan for easy removal and a perfect presentation • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for the best flavor and texture • Clean your knife with hot water between slices for perfectly clean cuts • Store leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness
