Method
Crust
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until all crumbs are evenly moistened.
- 2
Form the crust
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, then remove and let cool while you prepare the filling.
Cheesecake Filling

Mix the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Add sugar and sour cream
Add 1 cup of granulated sugar and sour cream to the bowl. Mix until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
- 5
Incorporate eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined.

Add vanilla and chocolate
Stir in the vanilla extract and melted white chocolate until fully incorporated.

Bake the cheesecake
Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.
- 9
Cool and chill
Remove the cheesecake from the oven, let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Strawberry Topping
- 10
Prepare the strawberries
In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the strawberries.
- 11
Chill the topping
Let the strawberry mixture sit for about 30 minutes to allow the juices to release and the strawberries to soften slightly.
- 12
Top the cheesecake
Once the cheesecake is chilled, remove it from the springform pan and place it on a serving platter. Spoon the chilled strawberry topping over the cheesecake just before serving.
