Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

For the Filling:

  • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup blueberry puree

For Garnish:

  • Fresh blueberries
  • Mint leaves

Instructions

Step-by-Step Directions:

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
    • Grease a 9-inch springform pan to ensure easy release of the cheesecake.
  2. Make the Crust:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs with 1/2 cup of melted butter.
    • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form a solid crust.
  3. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a large bowl, beat 3 packages of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
    • Add 1 cup of sour cream, 4 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until well combined.
  4. Divide and Flavor:
    • Divide the batter into two equal parts.
    • Stir the melted and cooled white chocolate into one half of the batter.
    • Mix the blueberry puree into the other half of the batter.
  5. Swirl and Bake:
    • Pour alternating spoonfuls of the two batters over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
    • Use a knife to gently swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly puffed.
    • Once baked, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour to prevent cracks.
  6. Chill and Serve:
    • After the cheesecake has cooled, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
    • Before serving, garnish the cheesecake with fresh blueberries and mint leaves for a beautiful presentation.

Serving Tips and Useful Notes

  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This helps to achieve a smoother filling and prevents lumps in the cheesecake batter.
  • Avoid Over-Mixing: Mix the ingredients until just combined to avoid incorporating too much air, which can cause cracks in the cheesecake as it bakes.
  • Cool Gradually: Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven with the door slightly open to prevent the surface from cracking. This step is crucial for a smooth, crack-free cheesecake.
  • Storage: Store any leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the cheesecake for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing.
  • Pairing Suggestions: Enjoy this delightful cheesecake with a glass of sparkling wine for a sophisticated dessert experience, or a hot cup of coffee for a comforting treat.
