New York Style / Graham Cracker Crust / White Chocolate Sauce / Dark Chocolate Sauce Recipe

Cheesecake Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust

   In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.

2. 2

   Make the Cheesecake Filling

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sour cream, vanilla extract, and remaining sugar, mixing until fully incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.

3. 3

   Add White Chocolate

   Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Let it cool slightly before adding it to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until fully combined.

4. 4

   Bake the Cheesecake

   Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 60-70 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.

5. 5

   Chill the Cheesecake

   Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

6. 6

   Prepare Dark Chocolate Sauce

   In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate with 1/2 cup of heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

7. 7

   Prepare White Chocolate Sauce

   In a separate saucepan, melt the remaining white chocolate with the other 1/2 cup of heavy cream over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

8. 8

   Serve the Cheesecake

   Slice the chilled cheesecake and drizzle with both the dark chocolate sauce and white chocolate sauce before serving.
