Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

• Graham Cracker Crust Alternative: You can swap out graham crackers for crushed digestive biscuits, Oreos, or even Biscoff cookies for a unique flavor twist.
• White Chocolate: Use high-quality white chocolate for the best taste and texture. Avoid chips as they may contain stabilizers that affect melting.
• Cream Cheese: Full-fat cream cheese works best for a rich and smooth consistency. Avoid the spreadable kind.
• Strawberries: If strawberries are out of season, you can use frozen ones (thawed and drained well) or substitute with raspberries.

Equipment Needed

• 9-inch (23cm) springform pan – for easy removal of the cheesecake
• Mixing bowls – for combining ingredients
• Hand mixer or stand mixer – to beat the cream cheese until smooth
• Spatula – for folding ingredients gently
• Double boiler or microwave – to melt white chocolate
• Parchment paper (optional) – for lining the pan for extra easy release

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to compact it well.
3. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill for 20–30 minutes while preparing the filling.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
3. Slowly pour in the melted white chocolate, mixing continuously until fully incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it reaches stiff peaks.
5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring it remains light and airy.
6. Add the chopped strawberries, folding gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

3. Assemble and Chill

1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
2. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight) to allow it to set properly.

4. Garnish and Serve

1. Once fully set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
2. Arrange sliced strawberries on top and sprinkle with white chocolate shavings.
3. Drizzle with strawberry sauce for an extra touch of sweetness.
4. Slice and serve chilled!

Tips and Variations

• For a firmer cheesecake: Add 1 teaspoon of gelatin dissolved in 2 tablespoons of hot water to the filling before mixing for extra stability.
• Chocolate lovers: Drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top for a striking contrast.
• Berry swaps: Substitute strawberries with blueberries, raspberries, or a mix of all three for a berry explosion.
• Make it gluten-free: Use gluten-free graham crackers for the crust.

Serving Suggestions

To make this cheesecake even more special, serve it with:

• A dollop of whipped cream on the side
• A dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant touch
• A side of fresh berries to enhance the fruity flavors
• A sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color

For a fancy presentation, drizzle plates with strawberry sauce before placing the cheesecake slice on top.

Pairings

This dessert pairs beautifully with:

• Champagne or Prosecco – The light, bubbly nature enhances the creamy texture.
• Strawberry Lemonade – A refreshing non-alcoholic option that complements the fruity flavors.
• Espresso or Coffee – The slight bitterness balances the sweet richness of the cheesecake.

Storage and Reheating

• Refrigeration: Store leftover cheesecake covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Freezing: Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
• Avoid microwaving: The cheesecake will lose its texture if heated.
