Ingredients
- Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Cheesecake Filling:
- 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup white chocolate, melted
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Blueberry Swirl:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
- Topping:
- Whipped cream
- Fresh blueberries
Directions
- Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- Make the Blueberry Swirl:
- In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries release their juices, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until thickened, about 2 more minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the melted white chocolate and sour cream until smooth.
- Assemble the Cheesecake:
- Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
- Dollop half of the blueberry sauce over the filling and use a knife to swirl it gently.
- Repeat with the remaining cheesecake filling and blueberry sauce, creating a swirl pattern on top.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is almost set. The center should still jiggle slightly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve:
- Before serving, top with whipped cream and fresh blueberries.
- Slice and enjoy your White Chocolate Blueberry Swirl Cheesecake!
