Crust

Method

Prepare the Crust

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until well combined.

  2. 2

    Press into Pan

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Set aside.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. 3

    Melt White Chocolate

    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

  2. 4

    Beat Cream Cheese

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until creamy and smooth.

  3. 5

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Add the melted white chocolate, sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts.

  4. 6

    Pour into Crust

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.

Bake and Cool

  1. 7

    Bake Cheesecake

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.

  2. 8

    Cool the Cheesecake

    Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Then, remove it and let it cool completely at room temperature.

  3. 9

    Chill

    Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Add Toppings

  1. 10

    Prepare the Topping

    Before serving, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the chilled cheesecake.

  2. 11

    Garnish

    Sprinkle white chocolate shavings and whole macadamia nuts on top for decoration.
