For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 2 cups (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (175g) white chocolate, melted and cooled
For the White Chocolate Drizzle:
- 1 cup (175g) white chocolate, melted
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
Equipment Needed
- 8-inch springform pan
- Hand mixer or stand mixer
- Mixing bowls
- Spatula
- Heatproof bowl for melting chocolate
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Crust
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter (and brown sugar if using).
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan to form an even crust.
- Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the cheesecake filling to allow it to set.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- Beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set.
Step 3: Prepare the White Chocolate Drizzle
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate and heavy cream (or milk) over low heat or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Allow the drizzle to cool slightly before pouring it over the set cheesecake.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
- After the cheesecake has set, pour the white chocolate drizzle over the top, spreading it evenly.
- Let the drizzle firm up for about 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- For an extra touch, garnish with crushed graham crackers, white chocolate curls, or fresh berries.
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve.
Tips for Perfecting Your Cheesecake
- To ensure a smooth and silky cheesecake filling, be sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing.
- For an extra glossy finish on the drizzle, add a little more cream to the melted white chocolate.
- Refrigerating the cheesecake overnight yields the best texture and allows the flavors to fully develop.
