Cheesecakes from A to Z?.
And here?s my all-time favorite cheesecake recipe, a white chocolate cheesecake.
How
to Make a White Chocolate Cheesecake
This
is a great cheesecake recipe. The white chocolate makes this cake particularly
rich. Use a good quality white chocolate with high cocoa butter content.
Serve this cheesecake plain or with a topping. You can use
pie filling for a topping or mix one cup fresh strawberries, raspberries, or
blackberries with 3/4 cup sugar. Mix the berries and sugar together to let the
sugar dissolve in the juice.
You will need a nine or ten-inch springform pan. Our
glass-base springform pans are perfect.
For the crust:1-2/3
cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the filling:4
8-ounce packages of cream cheese
1-1/3 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/3 cups white chocolate wafers or 8 ounces of white chocolate baking bars
Preheat the oven 350 degrees.
1. In a nine or ten-inch springform pan, mix the graham
cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar together. Press the mixture across the
bottom of the pan and up the sides to form the crust. Put the crust in
refrigerator while you mix the filling.
2. With the paddle attachment of your stand-type mixer, beat the cream cheese
and sugar together. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Drizzle in
the melted chocolate while the beaters are running. Pour into the crust.
3. Bake for 50 minutes or until the cake is done. Let cool on a wire rack. After
ten minutes, loosen the sides with a spatula and remove the ring. Refrigerate
the cheesecake to cool completely.
Baker?s note: Drizzle in the
chocolate while it is still warm. If the chocolate cools too rapidly, you will
have clumps in the cheesecake.
