by

This dreamy white chocolate and strawberry cheesecake is a luscious, no-bake dessert that combines creamy white chocolate with fresh, juicy strawberries. It’s perfect for special occasions or as a refreshing treat on a warm day.

Ingredients:

For the crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup white chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks

For the strawberry topping:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons water)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, melted white chocolate, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined. Pour the mixture over the crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  3. Prepare the strawberry topping: In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the strawberries soften. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened. Let the topping cool completely.
  4. Assemble the cheesecake: Once the cheesecake has set, spread the strawberry topping over the top. Garnish with additional strawberries or white chocolate shavings if desired.
  5. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Cheesecake:

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Let the cheesecake chill overnight for a firmer, creamier consistency.
  • To cleanly slice the cheesecake, run a knife under hot water before each cut.
  • Swap strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for a delicious variation.
