Instructions
Follow these steps to create your own delicious Elegant White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan to prevent sticking.
- Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
- Divide and Flavor: Divide the batter in half. Stir the melted white chocolate into one half of the batter and the blueberry puree into the other half.
- Swirl and Bake: Pour alternating spoonfuls of white chocolate and blueberry batters over the crust. Use a knife to swirl the batters together for a marbled effect. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
- Chill and Serve: Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with fresh blueberries and mint leaves before serving.
Notes
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature before starting. This helps create a smoother, creamier filling.
- Avoid Over-Mixing: Over-mixing the batter can incorporate too much air, leading to cracks on the surface of your cheesecake.
- Cooling Gradually: Allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven helps prevent cracks.
