White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake What Goes In
Crust Base:Filling Ingredients:Blueberry Components:Blueberry Cheesecake with White Chocolate – Steps
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix crumbs with sugar and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the remaining ingredients.
Step 2: Create Blueberry Sauce
Place blueberries in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the berries begin to burst and release their juices. Use an immersion blender to puree the berries. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove skins and seeds. Let the sauce cool completely.
Step 3: Melt White Chocolate
Combine white chocolate and heavy cream in a double boiler. Stir gently until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 4: Mix Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar and mix until well combined. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Blend in vanilla extract and the melted white chocolate mixture until the filling is silky and uniform.
Step 5: Assemble the Cheesecake
Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust. Spoon half of the blueberry sauce over the filling in random dollops. Add the remaining cheesecake filling, then top with the remaining blueberry sauce. Use a toothpick or thin knife to create a marbled pattern by gently swirling the blueberry sauce through the filling.
Step 6: Bake the Cheesecake
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the cheesecake in the center of the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. The center should be slightly jiggly but not liquid. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool slowly for about an hour.
Step 7: Chill and Set
Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely and develop its full flavor.
Step 8: Garnish and Serve
Before serving, decorate the top of the cheesecake with fresh blueberries and delicate white chocolate shavings. Slice with a clean, warm knife and serve chilled.

Luscious white chocolate blueberry cheesecake brings luxurious dessert dreams to life with its creamy richness and berry-studded elegance. Silky smooth layers melt on your palate, promising pure indulgence in each delectable slice.
Ingredients
Main Base Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup (5 1/3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
Cheese Filling Ingredients:
- 24 ounces (680 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces (226 grams) white chocolate, melted
- 1 cup sour cream
Topping Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Craft a crumbly foundation by thoroughly blending graham cracker crumbs with sugar and melted butter until the mixture holds together when pressed.
- Firmly compact the mixture into the base of a springform pan, creating an even layer that will support the luscious filling.
- Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the subsequent components.
- Transform fresh blueberries into a vibrant sauce by simmering them over medium heat until they burst and release their juices.
- Puree the cooked blueberries using an immersion blender, then strain to eliminate skins, resulting in a smooth, intense sauce.
- Gently melt white chocolate with heavy cream, stirring until the mixture becomes silky and uniform, then allow to cool slightly.
- Whip cream cheese and sugar together until achieving a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring each is fully integrated before adding the next.
- Blend in vanilla extract and the cooled white chocolate mixture, creating a luxurious, velvety filling.
- Carefully layer the cheesecake by pouring half the filling over the chilled crust, then artfully spooning half the blueberry sauce across the surface.
- Add the remaining filling and sauce, then use a toothpick to create elegant swirls that marble the two colors together.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for approximately 50-60 minutes until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually and prevent cracking.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the texture to fully set and flavors to meld.
- Before serving, adorn with fresh blueberries and delicate white chocolate shavings for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Prevent cracks by avoiding overmixing the cream cheese and using room temperature ingredients for smooth, creamy texture.
- Wrap the springform pan in aluminum foil before baking to prevent water from seeping in during the water bath method, ensuring even baking.
- Customize the dessert by experimenting with different berry combinations like raspberries or mixed berries for unique flavor variations.
- Make it gluten-free by substituting graham cracker crumbs with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs, keeping the delightful texture intact.
