Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 24 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
Sweeteners and Flavorings:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Binding and Stabilizing Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter and combine with graham cracker crumbs, pressing the mixture firmly into the pan’s base to create a compact crust.
- Melt white chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth and allowing to cool slightly.
- Beat cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until creamy, gradually incorporating sugar and mixing until fully integrated.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Fold in sour cream, flour, salt, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, blending until the mixture is uniform and silky.
- Gently stir melted white chocolate into the cheesecake batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Carefully distribute fresh blueberries across the surface of the batter, lightly pressing some into the mixture.
- Pour the prepared batter into the graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but set around the edges.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and allow the cheesecake to cool gradually for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before removing from the springform pan and serving.
Notes
- Prevent cheesecake cracking by baking in a water bath, which creates a gentler, more even heat distribution around the delicate cream cheese mixture.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother, lump-free batter that blends seamlessly.
- Use fresh, plump blueberries and gently fold them into the batter to prevent color bleeding and maintain their vibrant appearance.
- Make the dessert gluten-free by substituting graham cracker crumbs with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs for an equally delicious crust.
