Cream cheese (full-fat)	500g (18 oz)
White chocolate (high-quality)	200g (7 oz), melted
Heavy whipping cream	250ml (1 cup)
Powdered sugar	75g (¾ cup)
Vanilla extract	1 tsp
Lemon juice	1 tbsp

Optional Toppings

• Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
• White chocolate curls
• Caramel or berry sauce
• Whipped cream

Equipment Needed

• 9-inch (23cm) springform pan – Helps with easy removal of the cheesecake.
• Food processor – To crush biscuits into fine crumbs. (Alternatively, use a rolling pin and a ziplock bag.)
• Mixing bowls – For preparing the cheesecake filling.
• Electric mixer or whisk – To ensure a smooth, airy texture.
• Spatula – For folding ingredients together.
• Microwave or double boiler – To melt white chocolate gently.

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.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake

1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
2. Smooth the top and tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, for best results.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

1. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
2. Decorate with fresh berries, white chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel.
3. Slice and serve chilled.

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.

Perfect Pairings

A no-bake white chocolate cheesecake pairs beautifully with beverages that complement its creamy richness.

• Coffee or Espresso – The bitterness balances the sweetness.
• Champagne or Prosecco – The bubbles enhance the dessert’s decadence.
• Berry-infused Tea – A fruity, light tea contrasts the creamy texture.
• Dessert Wine – A Moscato or Riesling pairs beautifully with the white chocolate notes.

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!

Since this is a no-bake dessert, reheating is not required. However, if frozen, allow the cheesecake to come to room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving for the best texture.
