Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
For the Blueberry Sauce:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the melted white chocolate, followed by the sugar, mixing well. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Bake the Cheesecake:
- Pour the cheesecake mixture into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for another hour. Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Prepare the Blueberry Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Cook until the blueberries start to burst, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Serve:
- Once the cheesecake is chilled, remove it from the springform pan. Top with the blueberry sauce and additional fresh blueberries for garnish. Slice and serve.
Notes
- For a more decadent flavor, drizzle additional melted white chocolate on top before serving.
- Ensure the cheesecake is completely cooled before refrigerating for best texture.
