White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake

How to make White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake (Step 1, 2, 3…)

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside in foil.

Step 2: Mix cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.

Step 3: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed. Add vanilla and sour cream and mix just until combined.

Step 4: Stir in melted white chocolate. Gently fold in blueberries.

Step 5: Pour the batter over the cooled crust. Tap the pan to remove air bubbles.

Step 6: Place the pan in a water bath and bake for 60–70 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let cool for 1 hour.

Step 7: Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 8: For the topping, heat blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Add cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Cool completely.

Step 9: Spread the topping over the chilled cheesecake. Garnish with whipped cream and fresh blueberries.
