For the Strawberry Topping

🍓 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Crust

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined.
3. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
4. Bake 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.

2️⃣ Make the Filling

2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
3. Stir in sour cream/heavy cream and vanilla.
4. Fold in melted white chocolate until fully incorporated.
5. Gently fold in diced strawberries.

3️⃣ Bake the Cheesecake

1. Pour filling over cooled crust.
2. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 45–55 minutes or until edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
3. Turn off oven and leave cheesecake in the oven with door ajar for 10 minutes to prevent cracking.
4. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

4️⃣ Prepare the Strawberry Topping

1. In a small saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
2. Cook over medium heat 5–7 minutes until berries release juices.
3. Optional: stir in cornstarch slurry and cook 1–2 more minutes to thicken.
4. Cool slightly before spooning over the chilled cheesecake.

5️⃣ Serve

• Remove cheesecake from springform pan.
• Spoon strawberry topping evenly over the top.
• Optional: garnish with white chocolate shavings or fresh mint.

🍓 Tips

• Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling.
• Fold in strawberries gently to prevent breaking them.
• White chocolate should be melted and cooled slightly to avoid curdling the batter.
• For extra richness, use a water bath during baking to prevent cracks.
