Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  1. Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
  2. Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until well combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the base of the springform pan, using the back of a spoon to ensure an even layer.
  4. Refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes to set.

Step 2: Prepare the White Chocolate Cheesecake Filling

  1. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the melted white chocolate and mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
  6. Add the lemon juice and mix gently—this helps to balance the sweetness.

Tips and Variations

Tips for the Best Cheesecake

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for a rich and creamy texture.
  • Let the white chocolate cool slightly before mixing it into the cream cheese to avoid melting the mixture.
  • Whip the heavy cream properly—soft peaks ensure a light and airy cheesecake.

Flavor Variations

  • Berry Swirl Cheesecake: Add a swirl of raspberry or strawberry puree before chilling.
  • Oreo White Chocolate Cheesecake: Substitute the biscuit base with crushed Oreos for an extra indulgent twist.
  • Salted Caramel Cheesecake: Drizzle with salted caramel sauce for a sweet-salty balance.

Serving Suggestions

For an elegant presentation, serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a few fresh berries. You can also dust it with powdered sugar or cocoa powder for a bakery-style look.

Pair it with a side of raspberry coulis, caramel drizzle, or even a few toasted nuts for a delightful crunch. A sprig of mint adds a refreshing touch to each serving.

Storage and Reheating

Storing Leftovers

  • Refrigerator: Store the cheesecake in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freezer: Wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

Reheating? Not Necessary!
