Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into a greased 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Allow it to cool once done.
- Gently melt the white chocolate either in a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently. Let it cool slightly before mixing it into the cheesecake batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and cooled melted chocolate until fully combined.
- Carefully fold chopped fresh strawberries into the cheesecake batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed but being gentle to keep the mixture fluffy.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over your cooled crust, then drizzle with strawberry sauce. Add the remaining batter and use a toothpick to create a gentle swirl through the top layer for a beautiful effect.
- Place the springform pan in a water bath and bake for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in with the door slightly ajar to cool gradually.
- Refrigerate your cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to set completely. Before slicing, garnish with fresh strawberries and a drizzle of strawberry sauce for a stunning presentation.
