Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 24 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 8 oz white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1/4 cup strawberry jam

Directions

1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
3. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the sour cream, heavy cream, and melted white chocolate until well blended. Gently fold in the sliced strawberries.
4. Bake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
5. Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set fully.
6. Add Topping: Just before serving, heat the strawberry jam until it becomes spreadable. Spread the warm jam over the top of the cheesecake.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve your decadent white chocolate strawberry cheesecake, and enjoy every delicious bite!

This cheesecake is a perfect blend of creamy white chocolate and fresh strawberries, making it an irresistible treat for any occasion.
